Why is the leucorrhea red and doesn't look like blood?

Leucorrhea that is red but does not look like blood may be caused by cervicitis, vaginitis, ovulation bleeding, endometrial polyps, fluctuations in hormone levels, etc.

1. Cervicitis

Cervicitis may cause redness of the leucorrhea, which is usually accompanied by symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and odor. Cervicitis may be related to bacterial infection, unclean sexual life and other factors. To treat cervicitis, you can use Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi suppository, anti-metritis tablets and other drugs as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to keep the vulva clean and avoid excessive washing of the vagina.

2. Vaginitis

Vaginitis may cause abnormal color of leucorrhea, which may appear red or brown, often accompanied by itching and burning sensations. Vaginitis may be related to candida infection, bacterial vaginosis, etc. To treat vaginitis, you can use clotrimazole vaginal tablets, metronidazole suppositories, nifuratel, nystatin vaginal ointment and other drugs as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear and avoid using harsh lotions.

3. Bleeding during ovulation

During ovulation, a small amount of bleeding may mix into the leucorrhea, causing the leucorrhea to appear light red. This condition is usually short-lived and the bleeding is light. Bleeding during ovulation generally does not require special treatment. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets and other drugs can be used to regulate hormone levels as directed by your doctor.

4. Endometrial polyps

Endometrial polyps may cause irregular bleeding that appears red when mixed with vaginal discharge. Endometrial polyps may be related to excessive estrogen levels and chronic inflammation. For the treatment of endometrial polyps, the levonorgestrel sustained-release intrauterine system can be used as directed by the doctor, and hysteroscopic polypectomy is required when necessary.

5. Fluctuations in hormone levels

Fluctuations in hormone levels may cause the endometrium to shed irregularly, causing a small amount of bleeding mixed with leucorrhea. This condition often occurs during adolescence, perimenopause, or while taking birth control pills. If the symptoms are obvious, you can use estradiol valerate tablets, progesterone capsules and other drugs to regulate hormone levels as directed by your doctor.

It is recommended to pay attention to changes in leucorrhea, keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using irritating lotions. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical examination in time. The cause of the disease should be clarified and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At ordinary times, you should pay attention to regular work and rest, avoid overexertion, and exercise appropriately to enhance your physical fitness. You should eat a light diet, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
