Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Ovulation Bleeding

Ovulation bleeding occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, i.e. during ovulation. It is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed, leading to regular vaginal bleeding. This is called ovulation bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding."

Ovulation bleeding is a phenomenon that every female friend may experience. Generally, the amount of bleeding is very small and cannot be observed with the naked eye, but some people will have obvious bleeding symptoms, and the severity cannot be generalized. Typical symptoms of ovulation bleeding: regular vaginal bleeding in the middle of the menstrual period (ovulation period), the amount is generally not much, lasting half a day or a few days, and may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or backache.
