Leucorrhea with blood streaks Chinese medicine

We all know that leucorrhea is a normal secretion of women, and the nature of normal leucorrhea is milky white. Because it is secreted irregularly, the secretion amount will be greater only in the early or late stages of a woman's menstrual period. Some women find that there are some red blood in their leucorrhea during the non-menstrual period. They are afraid that they will get some gynecological diseases, so they go to see a Chinese doctor. So how does Chinese medicine treat leucorrhea with blood?

Does bloody vaginal discharge mean cervical cancer? How is it diagnosed?

Leucorrhea with blood is also called bloody leucorrhea, which can be divided into physiological and pathological ones. Traditional Chinese medicine experts say that bloody leucorrhea may be a sign of cervical cancer, and patients must be vigilant! Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, and it is also one of the cancers that makes female friends "shudder with fear".

A review of common causes of bloody leucorrhea

Physiological (ovulation bleeding)

Generally speaking, some women will experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment.

c rupture, the fluctuation of estrogen causes changes in vascular permeability and red blood cells to leak out of blood vessels, causing a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which is the phenomenon of ovulation bleeding.

Pathological

Bloody leucorrhea, or leucorrhea mixed with blood, should alert you to the possibility of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. However, bloody leucorrhea caused by cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, urethral caruncle, and intrauterine contraceptive device is also more common.

What tests can be done to screen for cervical cancer?

In case of suspicious cases during cytological examination, such as cervical contact bleeding or severe erosion that has not been cured for a long time, a cervical scraping should be performed to check for tumor cells. If cancer cells or nuclear heterogeneity are found, cervical biopsy should be performed further. This method is often used for screening cervical biopsy during cervical cancer screening.

Colposcopy can magnify the cervix 16 to 40 times, allowing more careful observation of changes in the cervical epithelium and the junction of the squamocolumnar epithelium. Biopsy under colposcopy guidance can improve accuracy. When the squamocolumnar junction cannot be seen, endocervical canal scraping should be performed and the scrapings should be sent for pathological examination.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Cervical cancer has different names in traditional medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is classified as "syndrome", "five-color band", "yin sore" and "deficiency". Mongolian medicine calls it "black poison". Traditional Chinese medicine's understanding of this disease can be traced back to 2,000 years ago when the classic Chinese medical book "Huangdi Neijing" recorded that "if the Ren meridian is diseased, women will suffer from leucorrhea and scrofula." In the "Qian Jin Fang" written by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty, it says: "Women's uterine bleeding is red, white, blue and black, with a foul smell and cannot be approached. The face becomes colorless, the skin and bones are connected, the menstruation is irregular, the lower abdomen is tense or painful... It makes people short of breath and weak, and the waist, back and ribs hurt..." These descriptions are quite similar to the late-stage symptoms of cervical cancer seen in modern clinical practice.

Under the guidance of traditional medical theory, doctors of all generations have accumulated rich experience in the treatment of this disease. In addition to oral medication, there are also external medications, folk prescriptions, acupuncture and diet therapy, which give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine with stable efficacy, few adverse reactions, and in improving patients' physical condition and quality of life.
