Patient's question:
I previously had excessive leukorrhea, and then my menstrual cycle became irregular with fewer periods. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was prescribed many medications, one of which was a topical medication called Nifuratel and Clindamycin Soft Capsules. After using it, my menstrual period this month has been getting smaller and darker. Previously, I had sexual intercourse two days after taking one capsule. Later, I was afraid that my period might come, so I stopped using it. Now, my period is even less than before, and I feel like it has been inside my body for a long time. What's going on??Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is unrelated to vaginal medication. Dark-colored menstruation may indicate a condition known as "uterine cold." It is recommended to pay attention to rest and personal hygiene, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, and cold foods. Do not overwork, get cold, or get angry. Warm uterus medicine and herbs that tonify Qi, nourish blood, and regulate menstruation can be used for (treatment and regulation). Observe closely. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia and change underwear frequently.
