Patient's question:
A friend of mine has had almost a ten-day or even half-month menstrual period every month after having an IUD inserted. Her menstruation is continuous and heavy, and the doctor refuses to remove the IUD. She is in great pain. How can her menstrual period be shortened?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is to expel the dirty blood in the body. It is only truly complete when it flows out. If the menstrual period is artificially shortened, it is unscientific and also harmful to the body.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's body but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
