Among women with regular menstrual cycles, a portion of the population will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding for a few days between menstrual cycles, although not as much as normal menstrual bleeding, but there will still be some concern about what is wrong with the body.

period of regular two menstrual cycle is ovulatory period, the estrogen level
in the body after ovulation will have a brief drop, the endometrium of part of
women loses the support of estrogen, then the endometrium falls off, causing
vaginal bleeding, known as ovulatory period bleeding.
【Cause】
After the follicle
matures and ovulates, the estrogen level will drop temporarily. At this time,
the low estrogen level of some women is not enough to maintain the growth of
the endometrium, leading to local shedding of the endometrium and a small
amount of bleeding.
After ovulation,
the corpus luteum forms, which secretes estrogen and progesterone, allowing the
endometrium to repair and grow, and the bleeding stops.
