What's the matter with bloodshot leucorrhea?

Bloodshot leucorrhea may be related to ovulatory bleeding, vaginitis, cervicitis, endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids and other factors. Bloodshot leucorrhea can be improved by adjusting living habits, medication, surgery, etc.

1. Bleeding during ovulation

Ovulation bleeding is a small amount of vaginal bleeding that occurs during ovulation, usually in the form of blood streaks in the leucorrhea. This is caused by a brief drop in estrogen levels during ovulation, causing part of the lining of the uterus to shed. Generally no special treatment is required, just keep the vulva clean. If the amount of bleeding is large or accompanied by discomfort, you can use progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets and other drugs to adjust hormone levels as directed by your doctor.

2. Vaginitis

Vaginitis may cause blood-streaked leucorrhea and is often related to bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, etc. Patients may experience vulvar itching, burning sensation and other symptoms. Medications such as metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and Baofukang suppositories can be used as directed by the doctor. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum every day and avoid wearing tight chemical fiber underwear.

3. Cervicitis

Patients with cervicitis may experience contact bleeding, which may appear as blood streaks in the vaginal discharge. Cervicitis may be related to infections with pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Patients may experience lower abdominal pain, dyspareunia and other symptoms. You can use azithromycin dispersible tablets, doxycycline tablets and other antibiotics as directed by your doctor. If necessary, you need to cooperate with cervical physical therapy.

4. Endometrial polyps

Endometrial polyps may cause non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, which may appear as bloodshot vaginal discharge. Polyps may be related to high estrogen levels or chronic inflammatory stimulation. Patients may experience symptoms such as increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods. For smaller polyps, levonorgestrel sustained-release intrauterine system can be used as directed by the doctor, while for larger polyps, hysteroscopic polypectomy is required.

5. Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids, may cause abnormal uterine bleeding, which may appear as blood streaks in the vaginal discharge. Fibroids may be related to genetic factors and abnormal hormone levels. Patients may have symptoms such as increased menstrual flow and anemia. Mifepristone tablets, Guizhi Fuling capsules and other drugs can be used as directed by the doctor to control the growth of fibroids. If necessary, uterine fibroid removal surgery is required.

When bloodshot leucorrhea occurs, it is recommended to record the bleeding time, amount and accompanying symptoms. Maintain a regular schedule to avoid overexertion. Choose breathable cotton underwear and change and wash them daily. Pay attention to a balanced diet and add an appropriate amount of iron-containing foods such as lean meat, animal liver, etc. Avoid frequent vaginal douching to prevent damage to the vaginal microenvironment. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention promptly for a gynecological examination, ultrasound examination, etc. for a clear diagnosis.
