Vaginal hemorrhage

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Vaginal Hemorrhage is a medical condition characterized by abnormal bleeding from the vagina that is not associated with a regular menstrual cycle. This condition can occur at any age and can be caused by a variety of factors.

Causes[edit | edit source]

The causes of vaginal hemorrhage can be broadly categorized into gynecological and non-gynecological causes. Gynecological causes include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, polyps, cancer, and pregnancy complications. Non-gynecological causes include blood disorders, infections, and trauma.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

The primary symptom of vaginal hemorrhage is abnormal vaginal bleeding. This can range from light spotting to heavy bleeding with clots. Other symptoms may include pain, dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Diagnosis of vaginal hemorrhage involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Additional tests may include blood tests, ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, and hysteroscopy.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Treatment for vaginal hemorrhage depends on the underlying cause. This may include hormone therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. In some cases, no treatment is necessary and the condition resolves on its own.

Prognosis[edit | edit source]

The prognosis for vaginal hemorrhage varies depending on the underlying cause. With appropriate treatment, most women can expect a good outcome.
