Patient's question:
My sister is 36 years old this year. She had a uterine fibroid removal surgery on November 20th. The surgery went well. Her first postoperative period came on December 1st, and then she had another period on December 15th. She said that her periods are usually very regular, and normally they should come around December 20th. Is it normal to have two periods in one month after uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hysteromyoma exclusion surgery generally never affects the normal menstrual cycle; you might be experiencing menstrual irregularity. There are several reasons for menstrual irregularity, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical diagnosis: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, among other inflammatory conditions, which can also lead to menstrual irregularity.Treatment for menstrual irregularity first requires a thorough examination, including ultrasound and six sex hormone tests, to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the underlying condition, followed by appropriate use of Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. Pay attention to preventing colds and resting during the menstrual period.
In addition to symptomatic treatment for hysteromyoma, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
