Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My period came on December 6th, and after only a few days, it came again, and it lasted for a long time. Why could this be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible that it is ovulation bleeding.During the middle of the menstrual cycle, i.e., the ovulation period, due to a temporary decline in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support, leading to partial shedding of the endometrium and causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is known as ovulation bleeding. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as "intermenstrual bleeding."
