Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My menstrual cycle has been irregular for over a year. Sometimes it comes every 20 days, and sometimes it comes after 30 days. Each cycle lasts about 10 days. However, in the past three months, my period has been particularly long, lasting about 20 days, and the flow has been very heavy. I was very annoyed and went to the hospital for a check-up. Following the doctor's advice, I had my IUD removed and had an endometrial scraping done. After the IUD was removed, the first month was normal, but then it returned to the same condition. I am now both annoyed and distressed. Could you please tell me what illness I might have and how to treat it? Thank you for your prompt response!Doctor's answer:
