Why does ovulation bleeding occur?
Bleeding during ovulation occurs because women experience significant fluctuations in estrogen levels during this phase. Due to the lack of stable estrogen support, the uterus may undergo irregular shedding, leading to bleeding. Such bleeding is usually occasional, with a relatively small amount of blood loss. Sometimes, it may manifest as brownish discharge, which disappears after 2-3 days. In such cases, no treatment is required, and it poses no adverse effects on health.
Bleeding during ovulation is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which is a normal phenomenon. The bleeding usually lasts for 1-2 days, during which time self-care is sufficient. However, if the bleeding during ovulation is caused by gynecological diseases, with prolonged and heavy bleeding, it is essential to promptly identify the cause and undergo targeted treatment.
During ovulation, it is recommended to consume nourishing foods such as milk, fish, black sesame, or eggs. Avoid spicy, hot, fried, sour, and cold foods to prevent prolonging the bleeding time and increasing the amount of blood loss. Drinking porridge made with 20 grams of Chinese wolfberry, yam, and 60 grams of rice can help nourish yin and stop bleeding.
During ovulation bleeding, avoid overexertion, prevent cold exposure, and keep the local area warm. Use a hot water bag for local heat application. Rest well, maintain a good mindset, and avoid mental stimulation. Avoid heavy physical and intense exercise. Keep the local area clean and hygienic by regularly washing with warm water and changing underwear frequently. Before bedtime, soaking feet in hot water can improve local blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, dispel cold, and enhance sleep quality. Additionally, during ovulation bleeding, pay attention to hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse to prevent infection of the perineum.
