Patient's question:
I just had laparoscopic unilateral ovarian cystectomy and tubal hydrotubation on September 28th last year. The cyst was nearly 7 cm. I have severe endometriosis, and the doctor prescribed me to take Depo-Provera. I started taking it before the surgery, and on October 23rd, I received my last injection of Depo-Provera.On January 9th of this year, I started bleeding from my vagina, similar to menstruation, but the color was very light. The first day had a heavier flow, and the following days had very little. After 7 days, the bleeding completely stopped. However, today, on the 18th, there is a small amount of blood being discharged again. What could this be? Was the bleeding on the 9th my period? Why am I still bleeding now?
Doctor's answer:
Your consideration about prolonged bleeding is best to promptly go to the hospital for a cervical examination and actively cooperate with treatments such as twin pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is recommended to avoid eating raw, cold, and irritating foods, and to refrain from sexual activity in the short term. Pay attention to preventing the possibility of anemia and infection.The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
