Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what happens if the period lasts for more than ten days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts for 3-7 days. If it exceeds 10 days, it can be considered prolonged bleeding. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many factors, common ones include: fatigue during the period, exposure to cold, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney disorders, abnormal endometrium, etc. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination in the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
