There is blood in the leucorrhea just after the menstrual period

For women, leucorrhea can be regarded as a "barometer" of health. Under normal circumstances, normal leucorrhea is white, without odor or impurities. However, if the body is unhealthy, especially if there is a certain inflammation in the uterus, there will be certain problems with leucorrhea, especially the presence of blood in the leucorrhea. If this problem occurs, be sure to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Here we will introduce the causes, examination items and precautions of bloody leucorrhea.

1. The reason why women have bloody vaginal discharge after menstruation

1. Suffering from acute vaginitis. The main manifestation of this disease is an increase in leucorrhea, which is yellow, watery or purulent and has a foul odor. In severe cases, vaginal bleeding may also occur.

2. For severe cervical erosion. Symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, yellowing, becoming sticky and smelly, vulvar itching, bleeding during sexual intercourse, lower back pain, and severe dysmenorrhea.

3. Cervical polyps are a type of chronic cervicitis, which can cause yellow leucorrhea with an odor and blood in the leucorrhea.

4. Cervical cancer. After sexual intercourse, there will be a small amount of vaginal discharge and blood.

5. Endometrial cancer. The clinical manifestation is irregular bleeding, with the amount of bleeding sometimes more and sometimes less. Non-menopausal women may have prolonged menstrual flow, and postmenopausal women will experience postmenopausal bleeding.

6. The clinical manifestation of senile vaginitis is that the vaginal discharge will increase and become light yellow in color. In severe cases, there will be bloody and purulent leucorrhea.

2. What tests should be done if there is blood in the leucorrhea after menstruation?

1. Common fungi and trichomonas in leucorrhea.

This allows the leucorrhea to be processed and then examined under a microscope to detect the presence of trichomonas or fungi based on its appearance.

2. Normal leucorrhea pH value.

After puberty, due to the stimulation of female ovarian sex hormones, the mucosal epithelial cells of women will become rich in animal starch, which will be decomposed by vaginal lactobacilli and turned into lactic acid, making the vaginal secretions weakly acidic, which can prevent pathogens from multiplying in the vagina. This is why the vagina has a self-cleaning function.

3. Leucorrhea and general vaginal cleanliness.

This can be divided into four levels. The normal situation is grades I-II, while grades III-IV indicate abnormal leucorrhea and require treatment.

4. Routine clue cells in leucorrhea.

The most sensitive and specific sign of bacterial vaginosis. Clinical doctors can make a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis based on a positive amine test and clue cells.

5. Routine amine test for leucorrhea.

If a woman's leucorrhea has a fishy odor, she may have bacterial vaginosis. This is mainly because the amines in the leucorrhea are volatilized after being alkalized with potassium hydroxide.

3. Taboos during women's menstrual period

1. Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene

Keep the vulva clean during menstruation. Prepare a special basin and wash the vulva with clean warm water every night. It is better to take a shower during menstruation instead of taking a tub bath or a sitz bath. Sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean. It is best to use toilet paper, sanitary napkins and pads purchased from regular channels. Underwear should be changed and washed frequently, scalded with boiling water after washing, and dried in the sun.

2. Do not take medicine during menstruation

Generally, adding rice wine to tonic food to help blood circulation, or Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis will cause an increase in menstrual blood volume. Therefore, taking tonic medicine during menstruation is the wrong time. The correct golden period for taking tonic medicine is one week after the end of menstruation, before ovulation, when the body's metabolic rate speeds up and tonic medicine can be most effective at this time.

3. Do not pull teeth during menstruation

You should not have your teeth pulled out during menstruation. Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase, but there will also be a bloody smell in your mouth for a long time after the tooth is pulled out, which will affect your appetite and cause malnutrition during menstruation.
