Leucorrhea with red blood after menstruation

I believe that many women will encounter the situation that their leucorrhea contains blood after menstruation. When this happens, we must first determine the cause of the bleeding and determine whether it is normal. If the bloody vaginal discharge is caused by having sex during ovulation or excessive intimacy, it is a normal phenomenon and you just need to be careful during sex. However, if the leucorrhea contains blood due to cervical disease, endometrial disease, or gynecological inflammation, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

1. What is the reason for leucorrhea with blood?

Having sex during the ovulation period, especially for newlyweds in their honeymoon period, often causes the woman to have bloody vaginal discharge due to excessive intimacy. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. Because in the middle of the menstrual period, which is the ovulation period, the estrogen level in the female body drops briefly, causing the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium, resulting in regular vaginal bleeding. The bloody vaginal discharge at this time is also called ovulation period bloody vaginal discharge, but it has another name in traditional Chinese medicine, called intermenstrual bleeding.

In addition, if the leucorrhea is pathological and contains blood, female friends should be alert to gynecological inflammation, cervical disease, endometrial cancer, etc.

Finally, for mothers who have already had an IUD inserted, it is also common to have bloody leucorrhea caused by the intrauterine device.

2. Is it normal to have blood in vaginal discharge?

For example, if your vaginal discharge has always been normal, but you have sex in the middle of your menstrual cycle, blood will appear in your vaginal discharge. This is normal and is also called ovulation bleeding.

However, if the leucorrhea is accompanied by blood, vaginal itching, lower abdominal distension and discomfort, persistent vaginal bleeding and a large amount of bleeding, you should be careful and be alert to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. At the same time, benign diseases such as cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and senile vaginitis may also cause blood in the leucorrhea. It is recommended that women should undergo regular gynecological examinations, including routine leucorrhea examinations and cervical examinations.

If you have sex during ovulation or do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, or if you have cervical erosion and other phenomena, it is possible to cause symptoms of leucorrhea bleeding. If pregnant mothers find bleeding during pregnancy, they must first stabilize their emotions and not be overly nervous. Observe whether they have abdominal pain and other discomfort symptoms.
