Many women are faced with a problem such as spotting that occurs in the non-menstrual period.
Usually, such discharges are not pathological in nature, especially if they are insignificant in volume. Abundant, causeless bleeding may be a symptom of abnormalities in the work of female reproductive organs.
Causes of intermenstrual bleeding
Bleeding in the middle of the cycle can occur for the following reasons:
- shift of hormonal balance in the body;
- miscarriage ;
- decrease in the level of thyroid hormones;
- beginning or end of oral contraceptive use;
- the presence of an intrauterine device in a woman;
- beginning or end of taking estrogen-containing supplements;
- carrying out gynecological procedures, for example, moxibustion or cervical biopsy;
- reception of individual medicines;
- trauma to the vagina or the presence of vaginal infections;
- the transferred stress or a depressive condition;
- cervical disease;
- presence of benign neoplasms in the vagina, cervix, urethra.
Intermenstrual bleeding with contraceptive use
Bleeding, occurring for this reason, occur quite often. In the instructions for the use of oral contraceptives, there is always an indication that bleeding can occur during the beginning and after the termination of their use, which are not menstruation.
For example, intermenstrual bleeding occurs when taking an oral contraceptive Jess. At the same time, they relate to the very frequent undesirable effects of this drug.
Intermenstrual bleeding occurs when using Regulon and other similar drugs. In this case, the instruction to it contains an indication that when intermenstrual bleeding occurs, it is necessary to continue taking the drug, as most often such bleeding spontaneously ceases after 2-3 months in 2-3 months.
If, when taking contraceptives, intermenstrual bleeding does not go away or continues to repeat, the woman should be carefully examined to find out their causes.
