The main causes of ovulation bleeding include the following: 1. Hormonal fluctuations: After ovulation, a rapid decline in estrogen levels causes the endometrium, which is influenced by estrogen, to lose support, resulting in slight bleeding. 2. Local endometrial shedding: With decreasing estrogen levels, endometrial growth is affected, which may lead to localized rupture and shedding, thus causing bleeding. 3. Endometrial congestion: During ovulation, follicular cells secrete increased amounts of estrogen, leading to endometrial congestion. Red blood cells may leak out, causing slight vaginal bleeding. In addition, pathological factors such as endometritis and inadequate luteal function can also lead to ovulation bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, lasts for a long time, or recurs frequently, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
