Patient's question:
Postpartum, I had my second period, but this time it lasted for a long time, already over ten days. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The normal duration of a menstrual period is 3 to 7 days, with very few cases lasting only 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts less than 7 days, it is considered extended. There are several reasons for an extended menstrual period, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, endocrine dysfunction-related uterine shedding, ovarian diseases, and endocrine disorders. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound and hormone level check to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up checks after the menstrual period, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
