Doctor's answer:

Vaginal bleeding outside of the menstrual period can be caused by the following factors:
1. Ovulatory bleeding: This involves only a small amount of brownish discharge, usually lasting for half a day or 2–3 days, with a maximum duration of no more than 7 days. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and lower back discomfort.
2. Functional uterine bleeding: This is typically characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular bleeding.
3. Taking emergency contraception pills can also lead to vaginal bleeding. Emergency contraception pills affect the menstrual cycle, and repeated use may cause menstrual disorders, bleeding, and prolonged, intermittent discharge.
4. Certain gynecological organic diseases, such as uterine fibroids or ovarian disorders, can cause irregular vaginal bleeding.
It is recommended that you visit a gynecological department in a hospital for an ultrasound and other examinations. Treatment can then be administered based on the results.
