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 and there are polyps, which can cause menstruation to last for more than ten days. 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 endometrium thickening that my menstruation lasts for more than ten days? Besides this month, my menstruation is particularly heavy, and I also have lower abdominal pain. Today is the sixth day of my menstruation, and I am worried it will last for more than ten days. The doctor said that simple endometrial hyperplasia can lead to complications and requires regular check-ups—is that true? I am planning to have a child this year, will it affect 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 cheerful 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 risk for healthy reproduction to maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
