The female body is a very complex chain of hormonal interactions, so if one chain is undermined, then the whole connection is broken.
The female cycle averages 28 days, with 5-7 days of them causing epithelial rejection - menstruation. The cyclicity of the process depends on many factors, including weather. Thus, it becomes clear that menstrual dysfunction can occur even with a common cold.
One of the manifestations of such a violation may be discharge with blood in the middle of the cycle. This occurs as a result of uneven maturation of the uterine endothelium, or with hormonal failure. Partial rejection of the epithelium may indicate that inflammation in the uterus begins.
Causes of menstrual flow.
- Bloody discharge in the middle of the cycle may occur due to rupture of the membrane of the growing follicle during ovulation. Usually, bleeding is not profuse and is accompanied by a single sharp pain. In some situations, doctors can diagnose ovarian apoplexy, which can be microscopic and extensive. In this case, a woman must be observed at a medical institution for at least 24 hours.
- Stress and depression can also cause spotting in the middle of a cycle. This is because the connection with the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for the formation of the initial link in the woman’s menstrual cycle, is disrupted. Thus, any adverse factor that affects the psyche of a woman, but does not affect her physical health, can cause the development of intermenstrual bleeding, or vice versa, the absence of endometrial rejection.
- Hormonal disorders and spotting in the middle of the cycle have a clear investigative relationship. Most women know that any hormonal imbalance leads to a change in the number and duration of “menstruation”. That is why endocrine diseases and malfunction of internal organs are accompanied by an irregular cycle.
Often, gynecologists are faced with a situation where a woman begins or stops taking hormonal contraceptives, and at the same time, she develops unusual discharge between “menstrual periods”. This process can be called physiological if the discharge is not plentiful and stops after a few days.
Abortions, miscarriages and premature births are also a violation of the hormonal background of the female body. In such a situation, discharge in the middle of the cycle may be accompanied by pain, heaviness in the lower abdomen. If a woman notices that the amount of blood released is increasing or pain is increasing, then you need to see a doctor, because extensive bleeding can begin.
It must be said that in the first weeks of pregnancy (when the woman does not yet know about her situation), partial rejection of the endometrium may also occur, however, these secretions can not be called menstruation. Sometimes doctors encounter a situation when a pregnant woman begins a miscarriage, which she takes for the start of the delayed "menstruation", as a result of which serious complications can occur.
- Every woman should know that any minor gynecological manipulations can trigger spotting in the middle of the cycle. These include: staging the intrauterine device, cauterization of the cervix in any way, curettage, removal of polyps and even transvaginal ultrasound. Therefore, if you have any unusual discharge, but at the same time you underwent any examination, then do not rush to panic. These bloody discharge should stop after 24 hours, if they become more abundant, or are accompanied by a sharp soreness, then it is better to consult a doctor.
- Mid-cycle spotting that bothers a woman regularly can be the result of a PPI, so it’s best to go through a series of studies for the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.
