Patient's question:
The leukorrhea initially had a few red streaks, gradually resembling menstruation, lasting for two or three days, and then followed by a few days of leukorrhea - red streaks - menstruation. (Unmarried) Hello, what could be the reason for this? The leukorrhea with red streaks gradually resembled menstruation, and this has been happening from last month until now. Is this also ovulation bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if this amount of bleeding is less than menstruation, it may be ovulation bleeding. In the middle of the menstrual period, i.e., the ovulation period, due to a temporary rise in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and again experiences partial endometrial shedding, leading to regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as "intermenstrual bleeding."Treatment:
1. Western medicine treatment: Diethylstilbestrol 0.25–0.5 mg/day, starting 3 days before menopause and stopping 2–3 days after the bleeding stops.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Gujing Wan, and Xuefu Zhuyu Wan.
