Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old, and I have had a child for a year. It was a cesarean section. My menstrual flow is light and painful, with dark red, sticky color. It becomes less noticeable after a day or two. Before pregnancy, my periods were very regular, but after giving birth, they came after the full moon sometimes, and sometimes it took two and a half months or even more. My child has been weaned for two months now. Now, my face is very pale and my complexion is poor. My breasts are much smaller than before. What treatment should I follow?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is the periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium under the regulation of sexual hormones. A small amount of menstrual flow indicates thin endometrium. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination, undergo an ultrasound to understand the condition of the endometrium, check the endocrine system to understand the hormone levels in your body, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
