Patient's question:
Hello, I have had a very light menstrual flow for over 10 days. What is going on? A few days ago, I had sex for the first time, and then my period came after a few days. It has been very short in duration but long in length, with no other symptoms. Previously, my periods were irregular, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. What could be the reason for this? Could there be any illness?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is too little and the duration is too long, which may be caused by endocrine disorders, low hormone levels, anemia, or other reasons. It is better to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the symptoms and receive targeted treatment. If the bleeding period is too long, you can take some hemostatic drugs. Drink more water and eat more qi-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine or foods. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wish you good health! Gynecological diseases are a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene.
