Patient's question:
I am 30 years old, unmarried, and have never had children or miscarried.Since July last year, whenever I engage in intense exercise like running, I have noticed bleeding from my vagina either on the same day or the next day. In April, I had a routine gynecological examination, including a Pap smear, which was normal. In August, I had an ultrasound, which was also normal. In November, the doctor performed a vaginal discharge test, which also came back normal. However, every time I exercise intensely, bleeding occurs. Sometimes it mixes with my discharge, making it appear red, and other times there is a significant amount of blood, similar to menstruation. This phenomenon usually lasts for about a day.
At the same time, my menstrual cycle has also started to change since last July.
Doctor's answer:
It may be due to some endocrine issues, causing an imbalance in hormone levels in the body, leading to uterine bleeding. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check the endocrine system for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Do not be overly anxious. Avoid spicy and cold foods one week before menstruation and during the menstrual period. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining a relaxed mood. Engage in regular exercise. The occurrence of abnormal vaginal discharge not only affects women's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
