What should I do if my menstrual period is less than usual and hasn't stopped after more than ten days?

Patient's question:

I usually have somewhat irregular periods, and this month it's even worse. My period has been light and hasn't stopped for over ten days. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you with your question. Due to the small amount and the fact that it's not clean, I recommend getting a gynecological ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is too thick, it may lead to this situation again. This is usually caused by low estrogen levels. You might also consider getting a six-panel hormone test to assess the levels. For endocrine treatment and regulation, if the endometrium is too thick, you could consider a uterine clearance procedure followed by medication to achieve endocrine regulation.
