Patient's question:
I have had my period for 15 days. Last night I had pink discharge and lower back pain. This morning when I got up and went to the toilet, there was bright red blood. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Clinical manifestations of ovulatory bleeding include regular vaginal bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle, with a small amount of blood flow lasting for half a day or several days. It may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or lower back pain. Ovulatory bleeding is caused by a temporary decline in estrogen levels in the middle of the menstrual cycle, leading to withdrawal bleeding. It is usually self-limiting and does not require medical treatment, nor does it affect health or fertility.The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided.
