Doctor's answer:

Hello, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding can be caused by two main factors: ovulation bleeding or certain gynecological conditions. Generally, some women may experience ovulation bleeding during their ovulation period, accompanied by varying degrees of abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. However, if the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used.
However, irregular vaginal bleeding should also be considered as possibly caused by conditions such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, or submucosal uterine fibroids. It is recommended that if you continue to experience bleeding, you should visit a hospital for tests such as a routine vaginal discharge examination and ultrasound. Under the guidance of a doctor, identify the cause and receive timely targeted treatment.
