Patient's question:
On the 11th of this month, my period just ended. Last night, I suddenly noticed a small amount of blood again, and it's still happening today, but it's very minimal. There's no pain, no itching, and absolutely no discomfort. Can anyone tell me what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 14 days before the next menstrual period, it may be caused by ovulation bleeding. Ovulation bleeding occurs because the follicle ruptures, and the estrogen level drops after ovulation, which cannot maintain the normal growth of the endometrium, leading to breakthrough bleeding of the endometrium. This should be considered a normal physiological phenomenon. Ovulation bleeding does not require treatment. It is recommended to avoid spicy, dry, and other irritating foods, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and avoid increasing the amount of bleeding and prolonging the duration.
