Patient's question:
In the past 4 months, my periods were very infrequent, requiring only a panty liner. This month, however, they have been continuous for a whole month, and the flow is very heavy. Last year, I also had a D&C procedure due to this issue. I visited many hospitals and took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but nothing helped. I don't want to have another D&C and want to have a child.Doctor's answer:
Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many factors. Common causes include: fatigue during menstruation, exposure to cold, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney disorders, abnormal endometrium, etc. After the bleeding stops, it is necessary to undergo tests for the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment. Hemostatic drugs may be used if necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during menstruation.
