Patient's question:
Since getting an IUD after giving birth, my period has been irregular. Every time I have my period, I get lower back pain. The amount is more than before I had children, and it lasts for a long time, sometimes not stopping for over ten days. Sometimes it's just a little bit of watery discharge, and other times it's dark yellow with a hint of red. Now I use pads every day. Because of this, I haven't been intimate with my husband for a long time. I went to the hospital, and they suspected it was due to the IUD. The ultrasound showed that the position of the IUD is normal, but there is fluid in the pelvis. The doctor didn't specify why, just prescribed some medication for me to take. The medication helped a bit for those days, but after that, it was still the same. I really don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. The causes may be organic lesions or functional disorders. Blood diseases, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies, reproductive tract infections, and tumors can all cause menstrual disorders. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally related to the liver, and treatment is usually based on the Siwu Decoction as the foundation, with modifications.
