Patient's question:
I am 23 years old, and it has been half a month since I have had a period. I even bled during intimacy with my husband, and it has happened twice. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The vaginal irregular discharge can be either physiological or pathological. Generally, during the ovulation period, some women may experience ovulatory bleeding, also known as mid-cycle bleeding, which refers to a small amount of discharge between two normal menstrual periods. It may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is necessary. However, if the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment. Common conditions such as vaginal polyps, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, and uterine fibroids may cause the polyps or purulent areas to rupture and bleed due to friction and impact from the penis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination.
