Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why is the menstrual period long?Doctor's answer:
(1) Menorrhagia and Anemia: Due to long menstrual periods and heavy menstrual flow, in addition to general hemostatic measures, hormones or curettage can be selectively used.(2) Cycle Irregularity: Estrogen-progestogen monotherapy or combined therapy can be adopted, or traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used.
(3) Infertility: Dysfunction in one or more links of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis leading to anovulation is one of the pathophysiological bases of menstrual disorders and one of the causes of infertility, which is an urgent issue many patients seek to resolve. Some patients may ovulate but have luteal phase deficiency, which can also cause infertility. Based on the patient's condition, different ovulation-inducing drugs can be selected to improve ovarian function or replace part of the function of the pituitary and hypothalamus.
