Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. From the very beginning, my menstruation was not normal. In middle school, it was about once every two weeks, and it remained the same until I graduated from school. During my school years, I tried everything—Chinese herbal remedies, Western medicine—but nothing worked. In the past two years since I started working, it has become even more troublesome. Now, it’s been non-stop for a whole month, and I’ve taken so many medications with no effect. Some traditional Chinese medicine doctors say it’s uterine bleeding, while Western doctors say it’s endometritis, but they haven’t found anything specific. This situation occurs frequently now, and I’m terrified. If this continues long-term, how will my body endure it! I also learned about this website through a friend. I hope you...Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause a woman's menstrual period to continue without stopping or to be prolonged and irregular. The most common reasons are some gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, functional uterine bleeding, etc. Additionally, some systemic diseases can cause uncontrolled bleeding, such as thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, and other blood disorders, as well as liver cirrhosis.If menstrual bleeding is excessive or prolonged and not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to anemia due to long-term, heavy blood loss; the risk of infection may also increase. At the same time, it may delay the early diagnosis of some diseases.
