Patient's question:
My mother has been experiencing vaginal bleeding. It stops when she's well and resumes when she's not. The bleeding always comes with blood clots. She had surgery just last year. What should I do about my mother's irregular vaginal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Irregular vaginal bleeding should first be ruled out for the possibility of threatened miscarriage, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain and may require pregnancy preservation or surgical treatment. Next, consider whether it is caused by menstrual irregularities. It may be related to gynecological inflammation infections, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, endometritis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. It may also be related to gynecological tumors, such as uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or ovarian cancer. You can go to the hospital for medical treatment, undergo gynecological examinations, colposcopy, laparoscopy, tumor markers, etc., for diagnosis. Targeted anti-inflammatory or surgical treatment is required. Additionally, it may be related to medication. Medication should be stopped immediately.
