Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Hello! It is said that women's health improves after marriage. However, I find myself exactly the opposite of others. I got married in May this year, and since my husband and I work in different places, we can only meet once a month. After the two sexual encounters we've had so far, I developed vaginitis, which took over a month to treat before finally clearing up. Now I've contracted a urinary tract infection. I don't understand why we are so careful about hygiene—how could we still get these illnesses?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your symptoms, it may be ovulatory bleeding. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, i.e., the ovulation period, due to a temporary rise in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and experiences partial endometrial shedding, leading to regular vaginal bleeding, which is known as ovulatory bleeding. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as "intermenstrual bleeding." Diethylstilbestrol 0.25–0.5 mg per day should be taken starting 3 days before menopause and stopped 2–3 days after the bleeding stops. Six-ingredient Rehmannia Pill, Gujing Pill, and Xuefu Zhuyu Pill.
