Patient's question:
I had my period on January 2nd.I had sexual intercourse on the evening of January 10th, using a condom for contraception. Both partners cleaned up before and after the act. On January 12th, I started experiencing white discharge with dark red blood. It has continued until today, the 19th, but without any pain or itching. I want to know what is going on—whether it’s a serious inflammation or not. I’m very worried and would appreciate a prompt response!!
Thank you so much!!!
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it could be ovulatory bleeding or bloody leukorrhea. Bloody leukorrhea is commonly seen in conditions such as vaginitis, cervical polyps, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, or submucosal uterine fibroids protruding from the external cervical os. If bloody leukorrhea occurs, it is important to have a gynecological examination in a regular hospital to identify the source of bleeding to avoid losing the opportunity for direct observation of bloody leukorrhea. If the bleeding occurs after menopause, it is even more important to rule out the possibility of cancer.
