The ultrasound indicated uterine enlargement. Past treatment and effectiveness: Two months ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication and topical medication, but it didn't work. This month, I went to the hospital again, and the doctor prescribed hemostatic medication and uterine-warming medication. What kind of help is needed: Hello, how should I be treated to achieve the best results?Doctor's answer:
Proving uterine enlargement, postpartum uterine involution is not yet fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy size.Guidance: If menstrual bleeding is prolonged and accompanied by excessive menstrual flow, it may be related to uterine enlargement. Of course, traditional Chinese medicine theory often believes it is related to blood stasis obstruction. Therefore, for this condition, traditional Chinese medicine may use blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling topical medications to regulate menstruation. It is recommended that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment may be better.
