Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly noticed that my discharge is light red. Is this abnormal? What could be the reason? What should I do?First follow-up question: Can there be bleeding during ovulation? Is that normal at that time?
I currently have light red discharge with a slightly fishy odor, but no other symptoms. What could be the reason? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
The possible causes of bloody leukorrhea may include conditions such as cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, submucosal uterine fibroids, and cervical cancer. Additionally, sometimes the presence of an intrauterine device (IUD) can cause some blood streaks in the leukorrhea. If bloody leukorrhea is detected, especially if blood streaks are found in leukorrhea after sexual intercourse, it is important to be vigilant about the possibility of a malignant tumor in the genital organs. It is recommended to seek medical examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment.
