Patient's question:
Doctor, I have irregular menstruation and a thick endometrium of 2.2 cm. After the D&C on June 21, I have been experiencing lower abdominal dull pain frequently. I haven't had a period for 5 months, but I had my first period on November 25. On the sixth day, the bleeding was still heavy. After taking hemostatic medication for three days, an examination revealed an endometrium of 1.4 cm on the eighth day after the period. The six sex hormone tests showed progesterone at 1.03. Could you please advise if medication treatment is possible instead of another D&C?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this is endocrine disorder leading to excessive menstrual bleeding. Dear, I suggest that if the endometrium is too thick, it is necessary to undergo a diagnostic (D&C). Medication is difficult to surpass its effect, and treatment should be administered after the D&C. For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, I advise female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
