Patient's question:
Last month, after the hysteroscopic surgery for endometrial polyps, my period arrived on schedule. However, today is the seventh day, and it hasn't stopped yet. There is only a very small amount of bleeding. Is this normal? How long does it usually last?Doctor's answer:
The normal duration of a menstrual period for women is 7 days, with a minority experiencing 3 to 5 days. If the menstrual period lasts less than 7 days, it is referred to as prolonged menstruation. Currently, on the 7th day of your period, the flow is reduced, which is also a normal phenomenon. The endometrium needs time to repair after hysteroscopic surgery, and it generally takes 2-3 menstrual cycles to return to normal. This situation does not require any intervention. If a patient experiences the above conditions, it is essential to follow the prescribed treatment.
