Doctor's answer:
Bleeding from the reproductive organs other than normal menstruation is referred to as abnormal bleeding. It can be categorized into bleeding from the endometrium and the uterine vaginal part, as well as bleeding from the vagina and external genitalia. Causes include hormonal imbalances, uterine cancer, injuries, erosion, inflammation, and polyps of the vagina and external genitalia, among others.When experiencing abnormal bleeding, for laypeople, it can indeed be difficult to determine where the bleeding is coming from, how severe it is, and whether medical treatment is necessary. Therefore, if there is bleeding outside of menstruation, it is important to seek a gynecologist's examination as soon as possible.
Additionally, blood disorders such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, leukemia, and iron-deficiency anemia can also cause reproductive organ bleeding. In such cases, apart from the bleeding, systemic symptoms like fatigue, fever, and anemia may also occur. Therefore, blood tests should be conducted to diagnose and treat the underlying condition causing the bleeding.
