Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have had irregular menstruation since having my second child. My periods used to be quite regular, but recently, they have been light in volume, prolonged in duration, and accompanied by blood clots. What could be the cause? If this continues to occur, will I be at risk of anemia again? What specific tests should I undergo at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is light with blood clots, and prolonged bleeding can easily lead to anemia. If the bleeding occurs less than once a week, oral medication can be taken, followed by a pelvic ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium. On the second day of the next menstrual period, blood tests for six hormones should be conducted to assess whether the hormone levels are disrupted. The specific condition can only be fully confirmed through careful examination. If there is gynecological inflammation, such as severe vaginitis, it can cause a prolonged menstrual bleeding sensation. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses serious health risks to women. Patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good personal hygiene. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
