Patient's question:
I have irregular periods, and the doctor prescribed estrogen to regulate them. But recently, I've noticed some blood in my vaginal discharge—is this a side effect of the medication? Before, it was just yellow.Doctor's answer:
Is it possible that you are in the middle of your menstrual cycle right now? If so, it is more likely that the bleeding is due to ovulation. The clinical manifestations of ovulation bleeding are the recurrence of regular vaginal bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle, usually with a small amount of blood, lasting for several hours or days, and may be accompanied by mild abdominal pain or lower back pain. It is suggested that ovulation bleeding is caused by a temporary decline in estrogen levels in the body during the middle of the menstrual cycle, leading to withdrawal bleeding. It is generally curable without the need for medication and will not affect health or fertility.When the doctor inquired, patients with abnormal vaginal discharge were advised, in addition to symptomatic treatment, to maintain a proper diet and supplement their nutritional intake in daily life!
