Patient's question:
Because I just got married and didn't plan to have children, I have been taking oral contraceptives regularly. However, recently, my menstrual flow has been very light, and the duration has also shortened. It is accompanied by abdominal pain, so I would like to ask how to treat the issue of reduced menstrual flow lasting for multiple days?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low and persists for multiple days, indicating an endocrine hormone level imbalance. This can also be a symptom of gynecological diseases. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination, use medication for anti-inflammatory treatment, apply topical medication, and undergo menstrual regulation therapy. On the second or third day of the next menstrual period, perform a detailed check of the six female hormone indicators. Based on the hormone levels, use combined short-acting contraceptives for menstrual regulation treatment for 3 to 6 months. Additionally, consume more high-quality protein-rich foods.Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genital hygiene and change underwear frequently.
