Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is 28 days long. After giving birth (the child is almost two years old), the menstrual period has been prolonged, sometimes lasting 9 days, sometimes 11 days. On the fifth day of the period, there was a phenomenon where the menstrual flow was initially light and seemed to be ending, but it continued for 9-11 days. Is this normal? Can I take progesterone? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation may be caused by emotional stress, cold exposure, dieting, alcohol consumption, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. It can also be due to organic lesions in the body. It is recommended that you consult a specialist doctor for examination to identify the cause before treatment. During the menstrual period, it is important to keep warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimuli; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, enhance nutrition, and strengthen the body; avoid mental stress and maintain a pleasant mood.
