Patient's question:
After the menstrual period passed for about three weeks, it came again this time. The stomach only hurt once and then stopped. The blood flow was extremely minimal. From last night until now, there was only a little on top, and it only flowed a bit when I used the restroom... The color of the blood was dark red, similar to normal menstrual blood, but the smell was like the odor of white discharge due to vaginitis, not the smell of menstrual blood.Past treatment and effectiveness: Vaginitis was diagnosed, but the cervix was not thoroughly examined, so it was suspected that there might be a problem with the cervix. Recently, a large amount of coffee-colored discharge has been flowing, and I'm very afraid it might be cervical cancer. I have only had two sexual partners and am seeking help: I suspect that the irregular menstruation is caused by low spirits due to my first love. However, my yellowish-green, viscous, and smelly white discharge has gradually disappeared, and the vaginal itching has also subsided. I'm very afraid it might be cervical cancer...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition may be caused by luteal phase deficiency leading to bleeding. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that reduced menstrual volume is often related to blood stasis or blood deficiency. The brownish substance is old menstrual blood. If you have abnormal leukorrhea regularly, it may indicate cervical inflammation, but it doesn't necessarily mean cervical cancer. It is recommended that you seek active treatment. Cervicitis treatment methods are relatively simple, but for menstrual regulation, it is better to consult a TCM practitioner, as it may be related to your emotional state.
