What are the causes of non-menstrual bleeding?

Non-menstrual bleeding is likely a symptom caused by functional uterine bleeding, or it may be contact bleeding caused by sexual intercourse. Some women also experience vaginal bleeding during ovulation, which is mainly related to changes in hormone levels in the body. It may also be caused by ectopic pregnancy, birth control pills, and contraceptive rings.

1. Functional uterine bleeding

When you have symptoms of vaginal bleeding outside of your menstrual period, you should first consider whether it is caused by functional uterine bleeding. This condition is generally caused by abnormal nervous system function and endocrine disorders, and may cause irregular bleeding and heavy bleeding, or even excessive blood loss. Progesterone capsules should be used for timely treatment.

2. Contact bleeding

If you have vaginal bleeding after sex, it is likely contact bleeding, that is, bleeding during intercourse. At this time, you may have severe gynecological inflammation or cervical erosion, cervical cancer and other diseases. You need to do abdominal B-ultrasound and hysteroscopy in time, and you can undergo hysteroscopy if necessary.

3. Ovulation bleeding

Some women will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding during ovulation, and the bleeding time is relatively short, and no special treatment is required. This is mainly related to changes in the level of estrogen secretion in the body. During ovulation, the estrogen content will drop briefly, and the endometrium will shed and bleed.

4. Ectopic pregnancy

Once an ectopic pregnancy such as tubal pregnancy occurs, typical symptoms such as vaginal bleeding will appear. At this time, it is often accompanied by unbearable severe abdominal pain, fatigue and other symptoms. It is recommended to do B-ultrasound diagnosis in time and choose the best time for curettage.

5. Other factors

For women who use contraceptives improperly, irregular bleeding and other adverse reactions are likely to occur during the non-menstrual period. This is mainly because contraceptives are hormonal drugs that affect the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body. If a contraceptive ring is placed, it will stimulate the endometrium, damage the endometrium, and cause bleeding reactions.
