Patient's question:
My mom is 49 years old, but in recent years, she has experienced vaginal bleeding a few times a year, lasting for over a month. At first, it starts with a small amount, and after 5 or 6 days, the flow becomes heavy. Then a few days later, it decreases again, followed by another increase. It's been driving her crazy all day. She has seen doctors, but they can't diagnose anything specific, and the medication hasn't shown any effect. The hospital also couldn't pinpoint the exact cause. At her age, she shouldn't be having her period anymore. What kind of gynecological disease could this be, and what medication would be effective? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, abnormal vaginal bleeding during non-menstrual periods is often related to ovulatory bleeding, vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, early cervical cancer, and submucosal uterine fibroids. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment according to medical advice. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
