What should I do if there is blood in the white discharge one week after menstruation?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: 24 years old.
Detailed Medical Condition and Purpose of Consultation:
For the past six months this year, I have noticed blood streaks in my discharge about a week after my period, lasting for about one or two days. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but later I heard that this could be an early sign of cervical cancer. Is that true? Looking forward to your reply!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginal bleeding during the non-menstrual period can be caused by the following reasons.
1. Ovulatory bleeding: This is only a small amount of brownish discharge, usually lasting half a day or 2–3 days, and not exceeding 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulatory pain and lower back discomfort.
2. Functional uterine bleeding: Its symptoms typically include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular bleeding.
