Introduction
Irregular vaginal bleeding may result from non-pathological factors, or could be related to certain medical conditions such as bleeding during pregnancy, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, vaginal tumors, cervical tumors, or malignancies. These conditions may also cause the aforementioned symptoms. It is advisable to take this seriously and promptly visit a gynecology department at a hospital to identify the underlying cause. After diagnosis, a doctor can develop an appropriate treatment plan to prevent further harm.
Irregular vaginal bleeding may be caused by non-disease factors, or could be related to certain medical conditions such as pregnancy-related bleeding or dysfunctional uterine bleeding.止血药 (hemostatic drugs) may be effective for controlling irregular vaginal bleeding, but it is not recommended to take them blindly, as this might mask the underlying condition. It is advisable to determine the cause first and then follow medical advice for appropriate treatment. The details are as follows:
I. Non-disease factors
In daily life, irregular vaginal bleeding is often due to menstruation and is considered a normal physiological phenomenon. It usually lasts about 5–7 days and stops spontaneously without special treatment. It is not recommended to take hemostatic drugs indiscriminately, as this may interfere with the normal menstrual cycle.
II. Disease-related factors
1. Bleeding during pregnancy
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy may be associated with threatened abortion, habitual abortion, or inevitable abortion. Partial detachment of the embryo can cause rupture of uterine blood vessels, leading to bleeding. Prompt medical consultation is recommended. If necessary, follow a doctor’s instructions to take progesterone capsules or receive intramuscular injections of progesterone for fetal preservation. Hemostatic medications can be effective in managing such bleeding.
2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Around puberty or perimenopause, hormonal imbalances can lead to ovulation disorders, resulting in abnormal uterine bleeding. Symptoms mainly include irregular menstruation, prolonged periods, and post-menstrual bleeding. For adolescents, treatment focuses on stopping bleeding and promoting ovulation. For women in the menopausal transition, the goals are to stop bleeding, restore regular menstruation, and prevent endometrial lesions. Hemostatic drugs should be taken under a doctor's guidance for optimal results.
In addition, vaginal tumors, cervical tumors, or malignancies may also cause the above symptoms. These conditions should be taken seriously. It is recommended to seek timely gynecological evaluation at a hospital, identify the underlying cause, and allow a physician to develop an appropriate treatment plan to avoid further harm.
