Patient's question:
Last month, I took emergency contraception, and my period was delayed by five days. Then, from September 30th until now, it hasn't stopped. The flow is light, and the blood is dark. Occasionally, I have pain on the left side of my abdomen. In the first few days, there was a sensation of discharge, like needing to have a bowel movement, and I experienced large blood clots. Yesterday, I used a test strip, and the results showed one dark and one light line.Doctor's answer:
Hello, excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged duration is commonly seen in conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometriosis. If the examination does not reveal any organic lesions, it is necessary to consider functional uterine bleeding. This refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine regulatory system disorders, with no obvious organic lesions in the internal or external reproductive organs. It is the most common type of menstrual disorder. It is recommended to undergo a check-up to identify the underlying cause and seek timely treatment.
