Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Recently, there have been blood stains constantly coming from my vagina, especially when I wipe after urinating, the blood stains on the toilet paper are sticky. Additionally, I have been experiencing itching in my outer genital area, and there are many small bumps on both sides of my vulva. Since it is not yet time for my period, these blood stains should not be from menstruation. So, what could be causing these blood stains that have persisted for a week?First follow-up question: Also, my boyfriend kissed and sucked on my vulva, and the next day, I noticed blood streaks in my discharge. Could this be due to excessive stimulation causing bleeding?
Second follow-up question: Is this situation serious, or is it normal?
Doctor's answer:
Consider that you may have bacterial vaginosis, and you can use metronidazole vaginal suppositories for a course of treatment! Pay attention to hygiene in daily life, bathe frequently, change clothes often, and wear loose, breathable cotton underwear! After your period, you can drink some motherwort granules to help expel accumulated blood. You can also eat more blood-activating and blood-stagnation-reducing foods, such as brown sugar, red dates, black chicken, and eel glue, to promote the smooth discharge of accumulated blood.
