What should I do if my menstrual period is abnormal?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I do if my menstrual period is irregular?

Doctor's answer:

Normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts 3 to 7 days, and if it exceeds 10 days, it can be considered prolonged. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many factors, common ones include: fatigue during the period, exposure to cold, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney disorders, abnormal endometrium, etc.
After the bleeding stops, it is necessary to undergo tests for the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Hemostatic drugs may be used if necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the period.
