Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods, and taking medication helped somewhat. This time, I thought it was the same, so I went to the hospital for a series of thorough examinations. The doctor used a duckbill speculum to examine me, which was very painful. The examination revealed a small area of broken skin on the cervix. After being prescribed medication, I took it for two weeks, but the broken skin still persisted. Now, I don’t know if it’s still irregular periods or cervical bleeding. I wanted to get pregnant, but have been unsuccessful so far. Can I switch to a different doctor for a checkup?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is recommended to visit a local regular hospital for follow-up treatment, undergo a gynecological examination, observe the condition of the skin breakdown, and arrange appropriate treatment. Take Yimucao Granules for oral administration to regulate the menstrual cycle. On the third day of the menstrual period, undergo a six-item hormone test and take medication as prescribed. Maintain good hygiene and cleanliness in the perineal area. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
