Patient's question:
Menstruation is on schedule, but the amount is low and the duration is long, usually taking over ten days to clean up. It's quite pitiful with such a low flow. I don't know whether to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is menopausal menstrual disorder. It can recur in two cases: one is luteal phase deficiency, and the other is irregular endometrial shedding. Based on your description, your condition is likely irregular endometrial shedding, which manifests as a normal menstrual cycle but prolonged periods. Treatment generally involves progesterone therapy, where you can take progesterone tablets orally 10 to 14 days before your next period. Alternate use for ten days is sufficient. The recurrence of gynecological conditions severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to treatment during their lives and avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained.
