Vaginal Bleeding or Spotting
Any bleeding from the vaginal area is considered vaginal bleeding. The term can be used to describe menstrual bleeding and bleeding from trauma or other medical conditions. Vaginal bleeding usually applies to bleeding that is unrelated to menstruation. Abnormal or irregular vaginal bleeding refers to bleeding that occurs between periods or outside of a regular menstrual cycle. This kind of bleeding can occur randomly, is tough to predict, and might be accompanied by other symptoms like pain.
Significant or inexplicable bleeding through the vagina from the uterus is considered an abnormal uterine hemorrhage. It can happen at any point during a woman’s monthly cycle, including their regular menstrual period. Various factors can cause unusual uterine bleeding. Pregnancy is frequently the cause. Additionally, bleeding from uterine fibroids or polyps is possible. Bloody vaginal discharge can also be brought on by infections such as sexually transmitted diseases.
Vaginal bleeding may be a minor issue. However, it might also indicate a more serious condition, potentially life-threatening, such as an accident, a bleeding disease, an infection, or a benign growth. Spotting can occasionally be a symptom of cancer, though this is not too common. A doctor can best determine the cause and suitable treatment.
