Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. In the past few months, I have noticed that my menstrual flow is less than usual, and this time, my period has lasted for 18 days without ending. Last week, I had a thorough medical examination at the hospital, but no problems were found. I was only given medication to take orally, but until now, my period still hasn't ended. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
You have symptoms of reduced menstrual flow and prolonged periods, which are manifestations of menstrual irregularities. If a thorough examination at the hospital does not reveal any issues, it is generally assumed that there are no organic inflammatory conditions. You can have blood tests for the six major sex hormones to assess hormone levels. Under the guidance of a local doctor, you can use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation or adopt artificial cycle therapy to restore normal menstruation. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
