Patient's question:
This month, my period has been going on for eleven days and hasn't stopped yet. I want to ask what kind of medicine I can take to regulate it. My menstrual flow is still normal, but not too heavy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This is a symptom of prolonged menstruation. Prolonged menstruation refers to a normal menstrual cycle where the period lasts more than 7 days, or even up to two weeks. It is often caused by incomplete luteal expansion, shortened endometrial repair, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, or the insertion of an intrauterine device. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as "shortened menstrual period." It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take medication such as hemostatic (etamsylate) and Gongxuening to treat it. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of nursing care.
