Does blood in leukorrhea necessarily mean cancer?

Blood in the leukorrhea is not necessarily caused by cancer. Normal leukorrhea is usually white and thin paste or egg white like, with a relatively small amount, relatively sticky, no fishy smell, and no adverse effects on women’s health. If there is blood in the leukorrhea, it may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as inflammation, vaginal inflammation, acute cervical inflammation or endometrial inflammation; polyps, such as cervical polyps or endometrial polyps; submucosal fibroids combined with infection; or cancer, such as cervical cancer or even endometrial cancer. If a woman of childbearing age has an intrauterine device placed, it may also cause blood in the leukorrhea, so the presence of blood in the leukorrhea requires prompt consultation at the gynecology department of a public hospital. Gynecological ultrasound examinations are performed to check the condition of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, and internal gynecological examinations are also performed, which means the doctor uses a speculum to open the vagina to check the condition of the vagina and cervix, and if necessary, cervical cancer screening is performed to determine the cause of the blood in the leukorrhea and follow the advice of the treating doctor according to the examination results.
