Patient's question:
Cause: Because my menstruation comes for only two or three days every month, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor checked and said the endometrium is thick with polyps, which can cause menstruation to last for ten days or more. Last month in the middle of the month, I had a hysteroscopy and D&C, and the pathology report confirmed simple endometrial hyperplasia.I would like to ask: Is it because of the endometrial hyperplasia that my menstruation lasts for ten days? Besides this month, my menstruation flow is particularly heavy, and I also have lower abdominal pain. It's the sixth day of my menstruation now, and I'm worried it will last for another ten days. The doctor said that simple endometrial hyperplasia can develop into a disease and requires regular check-ups—is that true? I am planning to have a child this year; will this interfere with getting pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, endometrial thickening can lead to prolonged menstruation. After dilation and curettage, there may be a possibility of continuous increase in menstrual flow. You can wait and see. It is recommended to have regular follow-up tests and maintain a positive mood. Maintain a regular lifestyle without overworking. If you have a plan to conceive, it is best to have a pre-pregnancy checkup. Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of potential reproductive risks to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is also beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
