In life, some female friends get confused, miscalculate time, and feel bewildered. Many of them even know how to calculate the gestational period, but sometimes they get the ovulation period and menstruation wrong. Sometimes they wonder why they have their period again when they have had it before. Is it their period or something else? In fact, they have confused it. So today I will tell you the difference between ovulation and menstruation. How to tell if it's menstrual bleeding or ovulation bleeding First of all, we need to understand what ovulation bleeding is. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, the ovulation period, due to a temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and part of the endometrium falls off, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." However, it is difficult for many women to have such a keen eye for the period or even before and after the menstrual period. In fact, women's ovulation date is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. The rest of the time except the menstrual period is called the safe period. Vaginal bleeding visible to the naked eye may last for several hours, or 3 to 5 days, but rarely for more than 7 days. In severe cases, it may continue to occur until the next menstrual period. Some women have very little bleeding, which stops with a few drops, or there is blood mixed in the vagina. Generally, it rarely reaches the amount of menstruation. Bleeding may be accompanied by distension and discomfort, dull pain or obvious pain in one side of the lower abdomen, and may even involve the waist and inner thigh. Symptoms may occur continuously every month or every other month. For some people, they occur for several months each year, while for others, they only experience this phenomenon once in their lifetime. Causes of ovulation bleeding 1. Imbalance in sex hormone secretion causes large fluctuations in hormone levels during ovulation, resulting in obvious bleeding. 2. Chronic inflammation of the endometrium or inflammatory thickening of the ovarian surface causes obvious congestion of the endometrium during ovulation, and bleeding is not easy to stop on its own, or the inflammatory thickened follicle surface ruptures and bleeds more than normal, and flows back into the uterine cavity with the peristalsis of the fallopian tube and is discharged from the body through the vagina. Vaginal bleeding visible to the naked eye may last for several hours, or 3 to 5 days, but rarely for more than 7 days. In severe cases, it may continue to occur until the next menstrual period. Some women have very little bleeding, which stops with a few drops, or there is blood mixed in the vagina. Generally, it rarely reaches the amount of menstruation. Bleeding may be accompanied by distension and discomfort, dull pain or obvious pain in one side of the lower abdomen, and may even involve the waist and inner thigh. Symptoms may occur continuously every month or every other month. For some people, they occur for several months each year, while for others, they only experience this phenomenon once in their lifetime. Repeated episodes of ovulation bleeding may affect pregnancy. If this is the case, treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a physician. Warm reminder: If a woman finds that she has irregular vaginal bleeding, she should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. So as to avoid any hidden dangers. |
