Patient's question:
In the recent months, my menstrual cycle has been very regular. Sometimes, when I have my period, the bleeding is light and continuous, lasting for several days. At other times, the bleeding is heavy. I visited a doctor, who said it might be related to menopause. Later, I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for treatment and was diagnosed with leukorrhea.What kind of help I need: What should I do about leukorrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Consider "functional uterine bleeding," but it is essential to rule out "endometrial cancer" for a definitive diagnosis. It is recommended to undergo gynecological examinations, including a detailed gynecological ultrasound and diagnostic curettage, at a regular hospital's gynecology department. The diagnostic curettage is the most important procedure, with the previous examinations serving as preparation for it. You can first hold your urine for the ultrasound, then empty your hands for the gynecological examination, and simultaneously perform the diagnostic curettage. This approach can clarify the cause while also achieving the goal of medication.
