Patient's question:
The patient is a 42-year-old female who was previously in good health.Three months ago, she missed her menstrual period for two months and visited a doctor, taking some medication. Last month, her period arrived. However, this month, her period stopped for a few days before returning again. It has now lasted for over ten days. She went to the county maternal and child health station for a check-up, where they performed a uterine cleaning and prescribed her hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medications. The doctor said her uterine wall was thick and hard, suspecting endometrial hyperplasia. She took the medication at home, but her bleeding stopped the next day. However, by the third day, it returned to how it was before. She went back to the hospital and the doctor said everything was fine, advising her to take some anti-inflammatory and blood-boosting medication at home. She has been taking them for two days now, but the bleeding is still there, and she also feels aching in her lower back. It’s truly frustrating. Please help me—what is going on?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is caused by abnormal secretion of hormones in the body. It is recommended to take progesterone orally for treatment. Stopping the medication will result in bleeding.
