Patient's question:
Menstruation came last month on the 23rd, and since the 10th of this month, there has been bleeding from below. The blood is light red, and the amount is very small each day. Today is the 15th, and it is still ongoing. The color of the bleeding has become darker red today, and the amount has increased slightly compared to before. I am very anxious. Could you please tell me what could cause this situation? I hope the doctor can provide me with an explanation and advice. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Irregular vaginal bleeding can be caused by many factors, so once a patient experiences this condition, it is essential to go to the hospital for examination. If necessary, tests such as cervical scraping, colposcopy, diagnostic dilation and curettage, and hysteroscopy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment early. The occurrence of cervical erosion not only affects a woman's quality of life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
