Patient's question:
My leukorrhea is slightly yellow, and it becomes a bit reddish during ovulation. My period has been arriving 6-7 days earlier each month since I had my child. However, in the past six months, the amount of my period has slightly decreased. Usually, the first four days are very light, and then on the 5th-6th day, the flow increases significantly, the color becomes bright red, and there are no blood clots. I had an abortion at the end of 2007 and had one ovary removed ten years ago (due to a corpus luteum cyst). Could this be related to the disease, or is it early menopause?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of gynecological inflammation, ovulation period discharge may be slightly redder. This could be ovulation bleeding, which often occurs around 14 days before menstruation. The reason for postmenopausal vaginal bleeding is the rupture of the follicle, as estrogen levels rise after menopause, unable to protect the normal growth of the endometrium, leading to breakthrough bleeding. Don't worry, this phenomenon is also a physiological one, but yellow discharge is abnormal. It is recommended to have a thorough check-up for a routine vaginal discharge test. Abnormal vaginal discharge can pose significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods.
