Patient's question:
I have been experiencing increased leukorrhea and vaginal bleeding recently. I'm very scared and would like to learn more about this condition. What are the causes of vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding can generally be divided into the following types:1. Increasing menstrual flow volume with prolonged periods but normal cycles. This is often caused by uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Additionally, women with an intrauterine device (IUD) may also experience continuous increases in menstrual flow.
2. Irregular vaginal bleeding with abnormal menstrual cycles. This is commonly caused by dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but it is important to first rule out endometrial cancer.
3. Long-term persistent vaginal bleeding. This is often caused by malignant tumors of the reproductive organs, such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer.
4. Irregular bleeding after menopause. In women of reproductive age, this is often related to pregnancy-related conditions, such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy. In postmenopausal women, malignant tumors are more likely to be the cause.
