Patient's question:
Last month, I left my job because I wasn't happy with the training. I've been staying at home doing nothing every day. At the beginning of last month, my period was normal in terms of bleeding volume, but about a week later, it has been continuously showing a small amount of brownish discharge every day. I don't have any abdominal pain, and I only need to change a pad once a day. It's been almost two weeks now.Doctor's answer:
Continuous increase in menstrual volume with prolonged periods but normal cycles is commonly seen in uterine fibroids. Prolonged cycles and frequent menstruation are often due to ovulatory bleeding. When vaginal bleeding reoccurs after menopause in women of reproductive age, the first condition to consider is pregnancy-related issues. If it reoccurs in postmenopausal women, it is mostly functional endocrine disorder-related uterine bleeding. Irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause should be more carefully considered for potential reproductive tract malignancies. Post-coital bleeding should be suspected for early cervical cancer, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, and other conditions.In addition to taking medication for gynecological treatment, patients also need to pay attention to their diet. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
