Patient's question:
I took some time to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a check-up, and everything was normal. Just had the check-up, no problems. I've never had any bleeding before, but this time after bleeding, my period came back normal. I'd like to ask what could be the reason for bleeding during sex about 3 or 4 days before my period?Doctor's answer:
The bleeding started about 3 or 4 days ago. It can be attributed to ovulation bleeding or poor luteal function. It is necessary to further identify it based on monitoring data such as basal body temperature. If bleeding reoccurs during the rise phase of the temperature, it is considered ovulation bleeding. This period is due to the fluctuation of estrogen levels, which leads to irregular shedding of the endometrium. If vaginal bleeding reoccurs after the temperature rises, it is considered to be caused by poor luteal function.
