Patient's question:
Menstrual bleeding for 18 days, and it's almost time for my period again. Should I continue taking the hemostatic medication?My period started on January 18th with a small amount of bleeding that has been continuous until today, February 7th, for 18 days. I have a feeling of dysmenorrhea. An ultrasound revealed appendicitis, no polyps, and the doctor said there is a small amount of blood in the uterine cavity. I took the hemostatic medication for 5 days, and there are still a few streaks of blood, but my menstrual cycle is 26 days, and it always comes a few days early. It's almost time for my period again, but there are still a few streaks of blood. Should I continue taking the medication or stop? Can I still take it if my period comes? Will my period still come if I continue taking it? What if it's just a little bit? Should I take it or not? (I had an X-ray and hydrotubation 3 months ago, and I was originally planning to do another hydrotubation after this period.)
Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by irregular menstruation. Generally, dietary therapy, massage, and medication are used to help promote the normal development of follicles, improve physiological functions, and restore menstruation to its normal physiological pattern. During menstruation, it is important to keep warm, avoid catching a cold, avoid eating cold foods, avoid overexertion, maintain a pleasant mood, and balance work and rest.The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a leukorrhea examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
