Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My menstrual period usually lasts for four days and then ends. But this time, it has been 10 days and it's still not over. The amount is less, and the color is dark red. I took Yimucao Granules, but it didn't help. Could you please tell me what might be the reason and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of menstrual disorders. If you experience irregular menstruation, it is important to seek timely medical examination and treatment at a regular hospital. The clinical manifestations of menstrual disorders are often diverse, ranging from irregular menstrual cycles, lack of regularity, and prolonged bleeding duration to changes in the amount, quality, and color of menstrual blood. Some may manifest as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or other pathological conditions. During the menstrual period, it is essential to learn to relax both body and mind and regulate emotions. Prolonged excessive stress can lead to dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis and central nervous system, making it easier to develop menstrual disorders. Additionally, excessive fatigue should be avoided to prevent excessive pelvic congestion, which may result in increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
