Patient's question:
More than a year has passed, and my menstrual cycle has been irregular for about half a month each month. The color is dark red with blood clots. Recently, I had an ultrasound at a local hospital, and they said my endometrium is 1.5 cm thick, which is considered excessive, and it also has an intrauterine device (IUD). They recommended that I have a D&C (dilation and curettage) for testing, and remove the IUD. I was afraid to undergo the procedure, so they prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine instead, specifically the No. 1 formula for dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, there are many reasons that can cause delayed menstruation, such as long-term use of birth control pills in women; menstrual delay and reduced menstrual flow caused by abortion or delivery surgery; in addition, changes in spirit, psychology, living environment, etc., can also affect a woman's menstruation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
