Dew loss: symptoms, causes and solutions

In the middle of the cycle, pink discharge can be caused by spotting - this happens to almost 8% of women. When accompanied by burning sensations, itching or unpleasant odours, pink discharge can be a sign of infection. What should you do if you find traces of pink blood on your sanitary protection or panties?

What is dew loss?

Pink discharge is small amounts of blood mixed with white discharge. They appear reddish or brown and have no odour. These vaginal discharges are generally observed around the time of the periods but can also appear at different times of the cycle. The color of periods and bleeding can help us to understand lthe origin of the color change.

In this case, pink discharge may herald the arrival of periods or indicate the end of periods. It can also be a sign of early pregnancy, miscarriage, ovarian cyst or endometritis (uterine infection).

Pink discharge at different stages of the menstrual cycle

Depending on its position in the menstrual cycleDepending on its position in the menstrual cycle, women may experience more or less vaginal discharge. Light pink discharge can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the woman's menstrual cycle.

Before the arrival of periods

Before the arrival of periods, white or pink discharge is common. It is also possible for young girls to have pink discharge before the arrival of their first periods. At puberty, irregular blood loss is common, but don't hesitate to consult your doctor. Hormones in turmoil, particularly estrogen or progesterone, can lead to recurrent pink discharge and become a symptom of chronic premenstrual syndrome.

During menstrual flow

During the periods period, and in particular at the start of the periods period, blood flows into the vagina in small quantities and is not abundant. When the flow from periods is very slow, the blood can even oxidize when it comes into contact with the air, turning brown. Nothing abnormal, rest assured!

After the end periods

After the end of periodsIt's possible to experience spotting episodes, known as metrorrhagia. This small amount of blood may be linked to a hormonal imbalance, particularly when taking the pill or fitting a hormonal IUD. For this reason, women in premenopause or menopause often tend to experience a pinkish discharge before they stop taking their periods.

Dew loss and ovulation

During the ovulatory period, small amounts of pinkish bleeding may occur. This indicates that the ovarian follicle has just released an egg which can then be fertilized. The release of the ovum can sometimes cause vaginal bleeding. This bleeding heralds the ovulation and fertility phase for women. To make sure you're in the ovulation phase, observe :

• The appearance of your white discharge, which looks like undercooked egg white. It's cervical mucus.
• Potential cramps in the lower ab domen, such as pain from periods
• If your chest is painful or heavy
• If your body temperature changes

Dew loss during pregnancy

As soon as your pregnancy is confirmed, and you know you're pregnant, consider that any bleeding is not normal. You should go to the emergency room or consult a gynecologist or midwife as soon as possible. 

Bleeding during pregnancy is common. There can be several reasons for this, particularly in the first trimester. During pregnancy, the cervix closes up and becomes highly vascularized.

•  They can sbe periods anniversaries
• Signs that the embryo is clinging to the uterus. This is called implantation spotting.
• bleeding following a gynaecological examination 
• bleeding after intercourse
• a sign of vaginal dryness
• Ectopic pregnancy

What are the special cases of dew loss?

If you notice a pinkish discharge of blood when wiping or in your panties, don't panic. Don't try any home remedies without the advice of a doctor or health care professional at l. Here are some special cases that can cause small amounts of bleeding.

Rosy discharge after sexual intercourse

After intercourse, a woman may experience some bleeding. In fact, rubbing of the sexes may cause irritation of the vaginal walls and light bleeding. This is perfectly normal, provided it is not repeated. During the sexual act, stimulation of the sexual organs increases arousal and vaginal lubrication. This vaginal lubrication by cyprine and white discharge will be more or less important. If penetration is too deep, or if intercourse is too violent, secretions will not be sufficient to protect the vaginal walls.

Sexually transmitted infection or mycosis

In order to s'make sure you don't have a sexually transmitted infection, medical examinations are necessary. The pinkish discharge of blood may indicate an infection, particularly a mycosis , in the following cases:

• The discharge is thick and looks like curdled milk.
• Itching at the entrance to the vagina or on the vulva
• A burning sensation when urinating, peeing;
• Painful intercourse
• A swollen vulva

Possible sign of an ovarian cyst

Many women suffer from ovarian cysts linked to menstrual cycles or endometriosis , for example. These are small pockets of fluid attached to the ovaries. 

In the case of sfunctional cysts , there is a good chance that they will resolve on their own. This is not the case with ovarian cysts linked to fibroids, polyps or endometriosis.

Here are a few signs that should prompt you to consult a doctor or healthcare professional in order to avoid ovarian torsion, which is a medical emergency:

• Appearance of vaginal secretion outside the periods
• Pain in the lower abdomen, feeling of heaviness
• Pain when urinating
• Pain during intercourse

Is it necessary to treat dew point losses?

In most cases, pink discharge is not serious and is completely normal. As long as they are occasional, they disappear within a few days. However, you need to keep an eye on the symptoms to avoid complications. If clear blood discharge is associated with pain, a change in odour or texture, you should seek medical advice and undergo screening to treat the cause.
