Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How many days of menstruation are considered normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal menstrual period usually lasts about 3-7 days. For your situation, it is recommended to have a check-up for the six major sex hormones at the hospital. Generally, if a couple has not taken contraceptive measures for more than a year and remains infertile, they should undergo a check-up. The male partner should abstain from sex for 3-5 days and have a routine semen analysis. The female partner should have her endocrine levels checked using the electrochemical luminescence method during the 3-5 days of her menstrual period; a vaginal mirror examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and vaginal four-dimensional color ultrasound should be performed 3-5 days after her period ends. This usually leads to a definitive diagnosis. If the cause still cannot be found, further examination with an electronic hysteroscope or laparoscope may be necessary.
