Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovulatory bleeding is caused by a temporary decline in hormones during the ovulation period, leading to partial shedding of the endometrium due to the loss of hormonal support, resulting in withdrawal bleeding. The bleeding volume is usually relatively small and can stop on its own, with no relation to the menstrual cycle. After ruling out pregnancy, it's important to consider whether recent changes in the environment, lifestyle, or emotional state have occurred, as these can all affect the regularity of menstruation. Additionally, it's necessary to consider medical factors, as many gynecological conditions can impact menstrual regularity. If these two reasons are ruled out, it's essential to undergo a systematic medical examination at a hospital to determine if any gynecological conditions exist! Generally, ovulatory bleeding does not affect overall health, and it's hoped that you won't experience unnecessary stress.
