Patient's question:
I used to have normal menstrual cycles, but last month it came three days earlier and lasted two days longer with excessive bleeding. I thought it was just a one-time occurrence, but it's still happening this month. I'm very worried about potential health issues. I'd like to ask what irregular menstruation and prolonged bleeding are.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, with continuous bleeding, requires a blood test for the six sex hormones on the 3rd to 5th day before the expected period, fasting in the morning, to assess the endocrine status. Then, an ultrasound should be performed, combining both tests to determine the specific condition. Treatment should involve a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for regulation. Daily precautions include avoiding cold water, cold drinks, and emotional stress. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay extra attention to cleanliness during the treatment period.
