Ovulation
bleeding is different from menstrual flow. The color of ovulation
bleeding varies from pink to red, is light and for 1 or 2
days duration. If bleeding occurs at 2 weeks interval then
it is due to lack of ovulation and can be due to irritation
to cervix or polyps in cervix or uterus. A clinical examination
with an ultrasound image of pelvic organs can confirm the
cause of ovulation bleeding.
The exact cause of bleeding during ovulation is not clear
and could be due to emerging follicles. Hormones prompt ovaries
to produce around 20 follicles that contain an immature egg,
and out of this only one follicle matures. It is during this
process of maturing and bursting out from the follicle that
pain or bleeding occurs. Few women are discomfited by bleeding,
as it is a signal of ovulation, or they bleed slightly in
middle of their cycle. Severe or long-lasting bleeding during
ovulation is sometimes symptomatic of certain gynecological
conditions, including endometriosis. It is prudent to consult
a doctor because if left untreated can affect health. Also
if bleeding is heavy during ovulation or lasts longer than
3 days then take medical advice.
Women with regular menstrual bleeding
can differentiate between ovulation bleeding and the menstrual
period. If periods are irregular, or it is uterine bleeding,
then she is not ovulating regularly. A physical examination
of the uterus helps detect causes of abnormal bleeding. An
ultrasound examination or a diagnostic hysteroscopy helps
detect sub-mucous fibroids, polyps and other problems. During
a diagnostic hysteroscopy, it is possible to remove polyps
for examination and take a sample of the uterus lining.
One needs to remember that bleeding during mid-cycle does
not indicate menses. If ovulation bleeding is accompanied
by pain or acute discomfiture, then start worrying. Take precautions
and get medical help before the condition is further aggravated.
