Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What factors can cause a long menstrual period duration?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, the menstrual period is generally 3-7 days long. If the menstrual period is prolonged, it is likely caused by low estrogen levels, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometritis, or an intrauterine device. If there are no organic lesions detected during the examination, consider functional uterine bleeding. It is important to seek medical attention promptly, and after a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Prolonged vaginal bleeding can increase the risk of infection. However, the specific cause is still uncertain, so it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination for safety.
