What to do if you have ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding is a very important thing for women. It is a phenomenon that many women will encounter. With different levels of knowledge, some women can see it with the naked eye, while others cannot. If ovulation bleeding is severe, it will cause many harms to women. So what should we do about ovulation bleeding?

1. What is ovulation bleeding?

Women usually ovulate about 14 days before the next menstrual period. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. The rest of the time except the menstrual period is called the safe period. Why do many women bleed during the ovulation period? Ovulation bleeding, also known as mid-menstrual bleeding, refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. The clinical manifestations are as follows:

1. Uterine bleeding. In the menstrual cycle with ovulation, uterine bleeding occurs during ovulation. The amount of bleeding is small, and sometimes it is only brown discharge. It usually stops on its own in 23 days, and the longest is 7 days.

2. Abdominal pain. Periodic pain between menstruation, which can be mild or severe, usually lasts for several hours, and in some patients it can last for 23 days.

3. Infertility may be caused by cessation of sexual life due to bleeding during ovulation, thus missing the opportunity to conceive. Note: Generally, there are no obvious positive signs. Diagnostic curettage, basal body temperature measurement (basal body temperature is biphasic, and bleeding occurs when low and high temperatures change), and laparoscopy can confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment.
