Introduction
Having vaginal bleeding after 7 to 8 years of amenorrhea may be caused by trauma, vaginitis, uterine fibroids, or other reasons, and appropriate treatment should be based on the specific condition. If abdominal trauma occurs, resulting in damaged internal soft tissues and ruptured local capillaries with blood leakage, it may lead to vaginal bleeding after years of no menstruation. Usually, this condition gradually resolves once the injured area has healed.
Experiencing vaginal bleeding after 7 to 8 years of amenorrhea may be caused by conditions such as vaginitis, trauma, or uterine fibroids. Appropriate treatment should be based on the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Vaginitis
If a patient does not regularly clean the genital area with warm water, external bacteria may remain for prolonged periods and invade the body, multiplying extensively and causing vaginitis. Inflammatory factors can increase the fragility and reduce the elasticity of local mucosa. Once the affected area ulcerates, this condition may occur. It is recommended that patients use medications such as vaginal antibacterial gels or metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets under medical guidance.
2. Trauma
If the abdomen suffers physical injury, resulting in damage to internal soft tissues and rupture of local capillaries with blood leakage, vaginal bleeding after 7–8 years of amenorrhea may occur. This condition usually resolves gradually once the injured area has healed.
3. Uterine Fibroids
If a patient has had no sexual activity for a long time, hormonal imbalances may develop, leading to prolonged estrogen stimulation of the endometrium, promoting mitosis and eventually causing cellular changes that result in uterine fibroids. These fibroids may gradually enlarge the uterine cavity. When they compress surrounding tissues, causing ischemia and necrosis, the aforementioned symptom may appear. Surgical removal of the fibroids at a hospital is recommended.
In addition, this symptom could also be caused by other conditions such as endometritis, salpingitis, ovarian cysts, or cervical cancer. If such symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation is essential to avoid delaying treatment.
