Menstruation is every woman's "good friend", it comes and goes, more or less affects our hearts.
Some time ago, a bao mom asked me that every time I came to my aunt, I would have a little drip of bleeding, and I went to the Internet to check what I said, and some even said that it was a sign of cervical cancer, which scared her not lightly.
What's going on here? Is it really a harbinger of some cancer?
Women during the reproductive period bleed a little around menstruation, which is mainly manifested by a sustained small amount of vaginal bleeding in the days before or after menstruation.
There are many reasons for this, such as:
Abnormal ovulation Uterine bleeding
This is the most important cause of drip bleeding before and after menstruation: due to the insufficient function of the corpus luteum after ovulation, the endometrial secretion response is not good, resulting in irregular bleeding before menstruation; and a small amount of bleeding that continues after menstruation is caused by incomplete corpus atrophy, resulting in the intima continues to be affected by progesterone and cannot be completely shed.
Adenomyosis
This is a condition in which the endometriosis enters the uterine muscles, resulting in lesions in the morphology and function of the uterus. Due to the increase in the volume of the uterus, the area of the uterine lining will also increase, and the changes between the uterine muscle walls will affect the fiber contraction of the uterine muscle group, so when women have adenomyosis, there will be symptoms such as increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation, and some patients may also have drip bleeding before and after menstruation.
Endometrial polyps
This is a common gynecological disease, the specific cause is unknown, the current mainstream view is that it is related to the local hyperplasia of the endometrium, the main manifestation is a small mass that forms a protrusion on the wall of the uterus, with different lengths of root pedicles, generally benign. However, it can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period, drip bleeding before and after menstruation, and incomplete menstrual blood.
Uterine fibroids
It is the most common benign tumor that appears in women, mainly due to the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and connective tissue in the uterine muscle layer. It can lead to menstrual changes, such as: excessive menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period, drip bleeding before and after menstruation, etc.
Uterine diverticulum
Uterine diverticulum refers to the appearance of small separations in the uterus, just like a small pit in the uterus, which is very easy to cause water in the uterus and will also affect the normal menstruation of women. If it is a normal uterus, menstrual blood flowing out is very smooth and smooth, but because of the existence of this "small pit", a part of the menstrual blood will be retained, resulting in symptoms such as poor menstrual bleeding, dripping, and prolonged cycles in women. This small separation can even seriously affect the life of the couple, resulting in symptoms of bleeding easily afterwards.
Place a birth control ring
It is what we usually call the "upper ring", which prevents the fertilized egg from implanting by placing an IUD in the uterine cavity. Birth control rings have many benefits: first of all, it does not affect the life of couples, and secondly, it can also be used during lactation, and it will not affect normal breastfeeding. If a woman has fertility requirements after she has been shelved, she can take the ring directly and can immediately start preparing for pregnancy without waiting. But it also has a disadvantage, that is, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding, drip bleeding before and after menstruation, waist and abdomen pain and discomfort and other adverse reactions.
pregnant
If there is a couple of women who live in a relationship, they should consider whether it is due to bleeding caused by pregnancy, such as: the implantation of the embryo will cause bleeding when the woman is pregnant, and ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage will cause drip bleeding before and after menstruation.
Irregular menstruation
If bleeding continues for the first four days of menstruation, it is likely that the menstrual period is advanced, but the amount of menstrual blood is too small. Normally, the normal amount of menstruation is fifty to eighty milliliters, and if the menstrual amount is less than thirty milliliters, or even a drip, then it is less menstruation. Timely intervention is recommended in such cases.
What should I do if I have spotting bleeding before and after menstruation?
In the above cases, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and through professional diagnosis (eg, go to the gynecology department to check the uterine ovarian ultrasound, sex hormone six items, transvaginal/abdominal ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, if necessary, combined with hysteroscopy), to determine the cause of symptomatic treatment.
It is best to schedule it 3-7 days after menstruation is clean, because the endometrium is thin and polyps are easier to find.
Women should also pay attention to developing good life schedules and healthy eating habits, do not stay up late, cold, overeating, etc., maintain emotional stability, and better care for their bodies.
