Patient's question:
There is pelvic effusion and trichomoniasis. A few days ago, I had severe lower back and abdominal pain. At a friend's beauty salon, I applied a traditional Chinese medicine membrane on my abdomen, which was said to dispel uterine cold. As a result, my period came earlier than expected, and now it has been a week with bright red blood every day. My lower back still feels uncomfortable. My friend said that applying the traditional Chinese medicine membrane is to promote blood circulation, which is a normal phenomenon. I want to ask if this is normal?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation lasts for a long time. If topical medications have the effect of invigorating blood, it is likely to shorten the duration of menstruation. However, if menstruation lasts less than 8 days, it is not a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination if menstruation lasts less than 8 days. The daily treatment for patients with pelvic effusion is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular rest and avoid alcohol. Patients with pelvic effusion can recover quickly.
