There is a little bit of blood on the vaginal discharge

The structure of women is different from that of men, and women's lower body will always secrete substances every month. Leucorrhea is a normal female secretion. Generally speaking, as long as the amount is not large and the smell is normal, it is normal. If there is blood in the leucorrhea from your lower body, it may be that your menstruation is about to come and ovulation has begun in your body. But if it is not menstruation, why does blood appear in women's leucorrhea?

If there is blood in your leucorrhea at other times other than before your period, you should first consider that it is caused by inflammation of the cervix. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination to confirm the diagnosis.

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, which is more common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by damage to the cervix and invasion of pathogens, including inflammation of the cervicovaginal part and inflammation of the cervical canal mucosa. The cervix is ​​an important line of defense to prevent pathogens from the lower reproductive tract from entering the upper reproductive tract, but the single-layer columnar epithelium of the cervical canal itself has poor resistance to infection. If it is damaged by mechanical stimulation such as sexual intercourse, childbirth, abortion, and surgery, it is more susceptible to infection. Clinically, cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic inflammation being the most common.

The main symptoms of acute cervicitis are redness and swelling of the cervix and edema of the cervical mucosa, often accompanied by acute vaginitis or acute endometritis. Chronic cervicitis has many manifestations such as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical glandular cysts and cervical eversion. Chronic cervicitis has a certain relationship with cervical cancer, so it should be actively prevented and treated. Women over 30 with cervicitis should have regular cervical smears to check for cancer cells.

The causes of cervicitis include the following:

1. Acute cervicitis

Acute cervicitis is caused by cervical injury due to sexual intercourse, abortion, childbirth, diagnostic curettage, etc., and the invasion of pathogens into the damaged area. Common pathogens include the following:

(1) Sexually transmitted disease pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are mainly found in high-risk groups for sexually transmitted diseases.

(2) Endogenous pathogens

Such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Trichomonas, Candida, Amoeba, etc.

2. Chronic cervicitis

Chronic cervicitis can be a continuation of acute cervicitis or it can be caused by persistent infection with pathogens similar to those of acute cervicitis. Unclean sexual life, decreased estrogen levels, and long-term stimulation from foreign bodies in the vagina can all cause chronic cervicitis. Secondary infection after damage to the cervix due to abortion, delivery, or vaginal surgery may not cause acute symptoms, but may directly lead to chronic cervicitis.
