Patient's question:
On August 27th, I had my period. It lasted for about 5 days. Today, I noticed some blood in my vagina, not much, and a slight bloating and pain in my lower abdomen?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal irregular bleeding 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 bleeding 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 may be used.However, vaginal irregular bleeding should also raise suspicion of the following conditions: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, submucosal uterine fibroids, and others.
