The amount of bleeding varies according to the size of the lesion and the invasion of interstitial blood vessels. If large blood vessels are invaded, it can cause massive bleeding. Young patients may also manifest as prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual flow; elderly patients often have irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause. Generally, patients with exogenous types have earlier vaginal bleeding symptoms with more bleeding; patients with endogenous types have later symptoms.
