Patient's question:
In the past two months, my menstrual flow has been light and has been bleeding for an extended period, accompanied by some lower abdominal pain. Could this affect my ability to conceive?Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
Doctor's answer:
The amount of menstrual flow is usually low due to low estrogen levels. Estrogen can stimulate the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium, preparing it for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off and breaks, forming menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can prevent the endometrium from thickening sufficiently, resulting in less peeling during menstruation. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo a thorough endocrine examination to check the normal levels of hormones in your body. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication to alleviate symptoms, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. It is also advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
