Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, my menstrual period this month has been very long, lasting 16 days, with very little flow and a slightly gray color. Can I go to the hospital to check my endocrine system? Is the endocrine check the same as a vaginal discharge test?First follow-up question: Then, what should I check?
Second follow-up question: What exactly is the endocrine system?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, do you have sexual activity? Is your menstrual cycle regular? How is your menstrual period and flow? Do you often experience periods that last a long time? If you have sexual activity, it is best to do a blood HCG test to confirm if you are pregnant. If you do not have sexual activity or have ruled out pregnancy, and your menstrual bleeding lasts this long, you can do an endocrine examination to understand your hormone levels and ovarian function. Under the guidance of a doctor, you should receive hemostatic treatment. If necessary, it is best to do a hysteroscopy to confirm whether there are uterine polyps or excessive endometrial hyperplasia, etc. Endocrinology involves blood tests, not checking cervical mucus.
