Clots in menstrual blood not clearing up for several days with a foul odor - what could be the reason?

Patient's question:

Jaundiced complexion, with color spots, with dysmenorrhea, each time there are large blood clots, deep red in color, it takes several days to clean up, and there is a bad smell

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be bacterial or fungal vaginosis. You can use the decoction of Sophora flavescens or Berberis vulgaris to rinse and treat it, which can be somewhat effective. Both Sophora flavescens and Berberis vulgaris have anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, but the latter should not be taken internally.
Irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
