Patient's question:
I have had a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for uterine polyps. I have bacterial vaginosis. An ultrasound revealed a cyst. On March 28th, after using a red root solution, I experienced black discharge, followed by light bleeding. The bleeding has continued to this day. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding can be of two types: physiological and pathological. Generally, during the ovulation period, some women may experience ovulatory bleeding, also known as mid-cycle bleeding, which refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual cycles. It may be accompanied by varying degrees of mild abdominal pain.If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. However, if the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used. But irregular vaginal bleeding should also be considered as a possible sign of the following conditions: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, submucosal uterine fibroids, etc. Additionally, sometimes due to the insertion of an intrauterine device, small blood streaks may be found in the vaginal discharge. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination, and under the guidance of a doctor, identify the cause and receive timely and appropriate treatment.
