What is the difference between uterine polyp bleeding and menstrual bleeding

What is the difference between bleeding from uterine polyps and menstrual bleeding?

The differences between uterine polyp bleeding and menstrual bleeding mainly include the nature, symptoms, and causes of bleeding.

1. Different nature of bleeding:

Bleeding from uterine polyps is usually intermittent and light-colored. Menstrual bleeding is usually continuous and dark-colored.

2. Different symptoms:

Uterine polyps usually do not cause other symptoms. Menstrual bleeding may be accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain, headache, and fatigue.

3. Different reasons:

The cause of uterine polyps may be related to localized endometrial overgrowth and extension into the uterine cavity. The cause of menstrual bleeding is usually due to changes in the menstrual cycle.

In addition to the above differences, there are also differences in the amount of bleeding and the time of occurrence. Both uterine polyp bleeding and menstrual bleeding may affect women's reproductive health. If there are symptoms of abnormal bleeding, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time. After clarifying the cause, follow the doctor's advice for standardized treatment.
