Disease description:

Before taking a shower tonight, I noticed bloodstains on my underwear. I initially thought my period had started, but it turned out not to be menstruation—rather, it appeared to be vaginal bleeding. Therefore, I’d like to ask: What causes vaginal bleeding?

Hello, Some women experience vaginal bleeding during the ovulation period—a normal physiological phenomenon caused by hormonal fluctuations. However, vaginal bleeding may also result from contraceptive use, cervical inflammation, endometritis, or other gynecological disorders. If you experience vaginal bleeding, it is important to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate, targeted treatment. In daily life, maintain good personal hygiene, wear pure cotton, breathable underwear, and avoid unprotected or unhygienic sexual activity. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
