Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has always been quite regular, although the flow is not heavy, it lasts for about five to six days. The first one or two days are usually normal in volume, then it decreases on the third day, and on the fourth and fifth days, there's only a tiny bit, which is dark brown in color. I always feel like it's abnormal blood clots. Coincidentally, last month I visited a doctor for a lumbar disc herniation and received physiotherapy, along with a prescription for "Yuxue Bi Pian" (Blood Stasis Dispelling Tablets). I took one dose of five tablets on the fifth and sixth days. By the seventh and eighth days, my period had stopped. However, on the ninth day, it returned, still dark brown in color. Now, on the fifteenth day, it's still ongoing, and it's even a little heavier than before. What should I do? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Menstrual bleeding that does not stop completely can be caused by many factors, such as chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, chronic cervical inflammation, etc. pelvic organic lesions, as well as endocrine disorders can all lead to dirty menstrual blood.It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound and an endocrine condition check to identify the specific cause and regulate it accordingly. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge check at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
