Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was quite normal, with a normal flow. This month, it's been very strange—my flow has been lighter, and the duration has shortened. I'd like to ask the doctor what could be causing this—why is my menstrual flow light but the duration long? Is there something wrong with my body?Doctor's answer:
If there is a sexual history, then the sudden decrease in menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation should first be considered as a possible symptom of miscarriage. It is recommended to undergo a blood test to check for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If pregnancy is ruled out, then it may be due to poor luteal function of the ovary. Currently, with the bleeding, it is suggested to take Baogong Fuyao Granules orally. Additionally, progesterone-based medication has been used for about two weeks before the menstrual period.
