Patient's question:
I am unmarried. In October this year, my period did not come for no reason. After seeking medical attention, I took Angelica Sinensis Tablets, and my period arrived. This month, it hasn't come again, and I have severe lower back pain, unable to bend over. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for half a month, but it still hasn't arrived, though my lower back pain has mostly subsided. I have had an ultrasound, and the results were normal.Doctor's answer:
The duration of menstruation is generally 3-7 days, with bleeding volume within 100 milliliters, peaking on the 2-3rd day. Menstrual blood is usually dark red and does not clot, containing, in addition to blood, fragments of the endometrium, cervical mucus, and vaginal epithelial cells. If there is an odor or blood clots, it may indicate the possibility of gynecological inflammation. It is best to wait until menstruation ends for 3 days before visiting the gynecology department of a hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
