Patient's question:
The menstrual period has been going on for over 30 days. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it's said to be leukorrhea. In the first 20 days, the amount was relatively small, but in the recent 10 days, the amount has been particularly large. Even after taking the medicine, there hasn't been any improvement. I wonder if after taking the medicine for a week with no change, should I focus on taking it as prescribed or find another doctor?Doctor's answer:
The usual menstrual period lasts for 3-5 days. You have been experiencing it for 30 days, and the menstrual flow is heavy, which is a pathological phenomenon. Please go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to rule out conditions such as uterine fibroids or functional uterine bleeding.Leukorrhea is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, and your symptoms are typical of leukorrhea. You have been taking medication for a week. It is recommended that you receive integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment.
1. Under the guidance of a local doctor, estrogen drugs should be used, along with topical medication, in combination with oral hemostatic and blood-activating herbs.
2. At the same time, you can also receive herbal treatment under the syndrome differentiation and treatment principles of a local TCM practitioner.
Wishing you happiness.
