Patient's question:
Medical history: After the menstrual period, one cycle of leukorrhea is light red with blood streaks, and sometimes the vagina itches. What is the reason?Doctor's answer:
After the menstrual period, if there are blood streaks in the vaginal discharge, it could be due to ovulation bleeding or cervical erosion. In general, if there are blood streaks in the vaginal discharge, several reasons should be considered, such as menstruation, ovulation bleeding, cervical erosion, etc. Since this occurred after your period, it is more likely due to ovulation bleeding or cervical erosion. You should observe whether it is ovulation bleeding. If it is, no medication is needed, and it usually lasts for about 3 days. Ovulation bleeding is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle and does not require treatment. If the bleeding is due to cervical erosion, proper treatment is necessary because long-term cervical erosion can lead to a series of inflammatory infections. If it causes pelvic inflammatory disease, it may affect future fertility. You must pay attention to hygiene and clean the external genitalia with warm water daily, without adding any tap water.
