Patient's question:
Last month, I had my period on April 22nd and it ended on April 26th. However, the flow was particularly light, and I had severe abdominal pain. This month, on May 14th, it arrived a full week earlier, and the flow was extremely heavy. I would like to consult a doctor about what I should do.Doctor's answer:
The last menstrual period was particularly light, and this one arrived earlier with a heavier flow. According to the previous light flow, this is a normal situation. Because the previous period was light, it indicates that the endometrium did not thicken well. This time, the heavy flow proves that the endometrium has thickened more, so the bleeding volume is greater. It is recommended to wait and see this month. If the same phenomenon occurs next month, then symptomatic treatment should be given under the guidance of a doctor.
