Patient's question:
I am 44 years old this year. Four months ago, menstrual irregularities reappeared. Every month, the period comes about seven to eight days earlier, and the flow is heavy, lasting about ten days to subside. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is one week early and one week delayed, both having a normal cycle. However, heavy menstrual flow lasting 10 days is abnormal. It is recommended that you undergo a transvaginal ultrasound to check for any foreign growths. Then, have your hormone levels checked to consider whether it is functional uterine bleeding. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean.
