Patient's question:
Hello, I have asked many questions here before, and I am grateful for the responses from all the experts. However, I now have a new problem. After my ectopic pregnancy surgery, the local hospital performed a hydrotubation. Since then, my discharge has been watery for over twenty days, and the test results showed a fungal infection. The doctor prescribed me Pain Relieving and Fungus-Clearing Capsules, Baofukang Suppositories, and Jieryin Wash. Nine days ago, a B at the hospital showed that my endometrium had reached 1 cm. The next day, I started feeling breast tenderness. This morning, the tenderness has subsided, but my period still hasn’t arrived. I want to know what’s going on.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the uterus and its appendages, and then proceed with symptomatic treatment.Suggestions for your attention:
1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during the menstrual period, which are all normal and should not cause excessive anxiety.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. Keep the external genital area clean. Sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during the menstrual period. Ensure warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and well-ventilated. Wash and change it frequently, and ensure the underwear is dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other stimulating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Those with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before the menstrual period and avoid stimulating foods like scallions, garlic, chives, and ginger. Individuals with poor qi and blood should increase their nutritional intake, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
