It is normal for you to have discharge as a woman. You dont have to worry about your discharge if it is white in color. Most women with\u00a0white vaginal discharge get worried when there is change in color of their discharge.<\/p>\n

Why do i have vaginal discharge?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bloody discharge is most likely normal in women. It occurs due to mixture of blood and your discharge. Some of the common causes of bloody discharge are:<\/p>\n

If you get pregnant, you may experience light blood in discharge. This is due to implantation.<\/p>\n

What is Implantation?<\/strong> After the egg produced by your ovary is fertilized by the sperm, it is transported to the uterus. At the uterus, it burrows into the endometrium covering the uterus. This is implantation.<\/p>\n

This burrowing can cause some women to have slight bleeding. This bleeding when mixed with your cervical mucus can form a bloody discharge. It clears up in few days (1-2 days) and some women may complain of abdomen pain too.<\/p>\n

Bloody discharge as an early sign of pregnancy is normal and does not require any treatment. However, if discharge continues for days, then its likely not because of pregnancy. You should inform your doctor ASAP.<\/p>\n

It is possible to have blood in discharge when you’re ovulating. Not sure about your cervical mucus while ovulating then read this ovulation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This rupture will cause slight bleeding or spotting that comes out as bloody discharge. You should not worry as it usually clears in few days. These other ovulation symptoms will give you a clue. They are abdomen pain, fertile cervical mucus that is clear and watery discharge, increased libido.<\/p>\n
