Patient's question:
Medical Description: I had my period on November 16th, but then it came 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, which increase the permeability of blood vessels, leading to the leakage of red blood cells from the vessels, resulting in a small amount of vaginal bleeding. This is the condition of ectopic uterine bleeding, which is seen in some people.To determine whether the bleeding is due to ovulation, basal body temperature can be measured to observe the relationship between bleeding and temperature changes. This helps avoid mistaking it for ovulation bleeding and overlooking the early diagnosis and treatment of other diseases.
If the bleeding is generally light and short in duration, treatment is not necessary. However, if the bleeding is heavy, medication to control the bleeding may be required.
