Patient's question:
Medical Description: Irregular menstruation, with bleeding continuing for over ten days without stopping. The bleeding increased after sexual intercourse. What could be the cause?History of Treatment and Effects: Ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages showed no abnormalities.
Help Needed: Could you please explain the possible cause and suggest a treatment plan?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual fatigue, cold exposure, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney lesions, and abnormal endometrium can all lead to prolonged menstruation. After menstruation stops, it is recommended to undergo tests for six sex hormones and ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Medications such as Anluo blood and K4 can be taken to stop bleeding. This condition is equivalent to luteal insufficiency in ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding in Western medicine, pelvic inflammation, endometritis, and other causes of prolonged menstruation. Prolonged menstruation caused by intrauterine devices or tubal ligation is also treated according to this condition. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for examination to determine the condition and receive timely treatment.
