Patient's question:
AgeDetailed medical history and purpose of consultation:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was very regular. In December 2002, a physical examination at my workplace revealed a uterine fibroid of about 3 cm. By September of the following year, it had grown to 8 cm, and on September 11, I underwent a uterine fibroid enucleation + bilateral uterine artery ligation at the hospital. After the surgery, I took Mifepristone for 3 months, after which my menstrual periods became prolonged, sometimes occurring every 45 days or once every 2 months. When using progesterone, I experienced withdrawal bleeding. During this time, I continuously sought medical care and took herbal medicines such as "White Chicken White Wind Pill" and "Xiao Yao Wan." During menstruation, the flow was light. Sometimes, if I didn't take progesterone, my period wouldn't occur. In August 2005...
Doctor's answer:
You have had a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, and now your postoperative menstrual period is prolonged, requiring medication to relieve it. This may be due to poor uterine contraction after the surgery. Your condition is likely postoperative, so I recommend taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate and promote uterine contraction and involution. This should be an organic lesion, and the surgery itself should not be the issue.The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
