Patient's question:
Medical Description: My period ended on November 16th, but it came back again on the 24th of the same month! My periods have been quite normal for the past few months! What could be the reason for this?Between the 16th and 24th, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, and I have cervical erosion (degree 3), which is currently being treated!
Doctor's answer:
Ectopic uterine bleeding during ovulation is a normal phenomenon in the menstrual cycle of women, where a small amount of bleeding occurs on the day of ovulation. The bleeding is caused by the rupture of the follicle, changes in estrogen secretion, leading to increased vascular permeability, allowing red blood cells to leak out of the blood vessels, resulting in slight vaginal bleeding. This is the situation of ectopic uterine bleeding, which is seen in some people. To determine whether it is ovulatory bleeding, basal body temperature can be measured to observe the relationship between bleeding and temperature changes. This helps avoid mistaking it for ovulatory bleeding and overlooking the early diagnosis and treatment of other diseases. Ectopic uterine bleeding is generally mild and short in duration, requiring no treatment. If the bleeding is heavy, medication to control the bleeding may be necessary.
