Patient's question:
I want to consult because I am 50 years old and haven't had my period for two months. I thought I had gone through menopause, but I got my period this month. It started normally, but later the flow became heavier, with blood clots. It's been nine days today, and I'm wondering why my period is like this.Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are now 50 years old and have entered menopause. At this stage, your menstrual cycle may become irregular again. However, your current bleeding duration is quite long, and there are blood clots. First, it is necessary to rule out endometrial diseases such as endometrial hyperplasia and uterine fibroids before considering the possibility of menopausal anovulatory bleeding. I recommend you to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, pelvic ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, and then send the endometrium for pathological examination. After ruling out endometrial malignancy and inflammation, you can take desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets to help regulate your menstrual cycle.
