Patient's question:
My last menstrual period started on December 4th. Because my menstrual cycle has been a bit irregular for the past six months, I went to the hospital after my period to get Chinese medicine for regulating my cycle. On January 9th, I took a pregnancy test, which showed negative. By January 11th, I started bleeding. I'm wondering if this bleeding is my period or a miscarriage?Medical history: Irregular menstrual cycle for the past six months
Other: Taken eight doses of Chinese medicine for regulating the cycle
Additional tests: Pregnancy test on January 9th showed negative
Doctor's answer:
Because the urine test is negative, the possibility of pregnancy is unlikely. However, it is necessary to identify the cause of the bleeding. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to check for uterine fibroids. If there are none, the vaginal bleeding is likely caused by endocrine disorders. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause certain damage to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients who have had an abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
