Reasons why you stain your underwear with blood (and it's not menstruation) | Health180

From time to time, despite the precautions that are taken, women get to stain our underwear with blood due to menstruation. However, this can happen without being in the "difficult" days of the month.

One of the most common causes of blood staining your underwear is underactive thyroid (low thyroid function), according to the National Library of Medicine.

This is because it affects the pituitary system, which alters the production of hormones, which leads to vaginal bleeding.

Although the majority, initially, are asymptomatic, gonorrhea or chlamydia can cause you to stain your underwear, especially after having sex.

Trichomoniasis and HPV can cause inflammation in the cervix which can cause bleeding.

Especially when it comes to anticoagulants. According to Natasha Johnson of Brigham Women's Hospital, these drugs can cause bleeding, as can ginkgo biloba, because they have blood-thinning properties.

Its estrogen and progestin content alters the body's natural hormone levels, which causes intermenstrual bleeding.

This disease increases testosterone levels and alters estrogen levels; which translates into intermittent or long periods.

Before panicking, it is important to analyze where the blood comes from: anus, vagina, urethra, this will be essential so that a health expert can make a more accurate diagnosis.
