Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, how should I take medication if my period doesn't stop?Doctor's answer:
This is menstrual prolongation. Menstrual prolongation refers to a normal menstrual cycle with menstruation lasting more than 7 days, or even up to two weeks to subside. It is often caused by incomplete luteal regression, prolonged endometrial repair, pelvic inflammation, endometritis, or the insertion of an intrauterine device. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as "prolonged menstruation." It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. It is advised to seek immediate medical attention for hemostasis. You may take Zhixue Ning (hemostatic agent) and, if necessary, undergo uterine curettage for bleeding control.
