Patient's question:
After my period, the skin peels off about three to four days later, with a small amount of flow, and this has been happening for two months. This month, five days after the period ended, the skin peeled off yesterday, and the blood was like the first day of the period, dark in color. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
During the middle of the menstrual cycle, specifically the ovulation period, due to a temporary rise in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal stimulation and experiences partial endometrial shedding again, leading to regular vaginal bleeding, which is known as ovulation bleeding.1. Maintain a positive mental state during the ovulation period, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations, and do not over-tense.
2. Pay attention to hygiene during the ovulation period to prevent infections. Clean the external genitalia regularly. Sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during the menstrual period. Take care to avoid cold exposure and prevent cold-induced irritation. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear during the ovulation period should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and breathability. Wash and change underwear frequently, and dry the exchanged underwear in the sun.
