Patient's question:
My leukorrhea has blood in it, and I don't know why. My menstruation is normal. The leukorrhea has turned yellow. I hope you can give me a reply. It's not frequent, just occasional. Like once a month. My leukorrhea has turned yellow. But I'm not married and don't have a boyfriend.Doctor's answer:
There are mainly two types of cases: physiological and pathological. Generally, during the ovulation period, some women may experience ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-cycle bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods. This may be accompanied by varying degrees of mild abdominal pain, all of which are physiological reasons for blood in leukorrhea. However, pathological reasons for blood in leukorrhea may be caused by gynecological conditions such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, submucosal uterine fibroids, and cervical cancer. Additionally, sometimes due to the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), small blood streaks may be present in leukorrhea. If blood is detected in leukorrhea, especially after intercourse, it is important to be vigilant about the possibility of malignant tumors in the reproductive organs. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment after confirming the cause.
