Patient's question:
Menstrual flow is very light, lasting only one or two days, and the amount during those days is also very small. Two years ago, I had an induced abortion, and since then, my menstrual flow has become very light. Last month, after my period ended, an ultrasound showed an endometrial thickness of 5mm. This month, four days before my period, an ultrasound showed an endometrial thickness of 6mm. Over the past two years, I have taken many medications, but nothing has stabilized. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Multiple considerations indicate that excessive damage to the endometrium may occur after an abortion, leading to thinning of the endometrium and reduced menstrual flow. It is recommended that you take progesterone capsules during the latter half of your menstrual cycle, approximately around day 15, to promote endometrial thickening. Take one capsule daily for 8-10 consecutive days. Follow this regimen for three months, then discontinue medication and carefully monitor the results. Alternatively, you can take traditional Chinese medicine for regulation and reassess the situation. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, particularly in terms of hygiene.
