Patient's question:
My mom is 41 years old this year. She had a high-risk pregnancy in 2003. However, after that, her menstrual cycle has been very long every time, usually at least around ten days, and sometimes she even has two periods in a month. Moreover, the flow is heavy. I wonder if it's related to gynecological diseases? It's also accompanied by lower back pain! If anyone knows, please guide me in the right direction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your condition is likely caused by endocrine disorders leading to menstrual irregularities. If this occurs, it is recommended that you do not blindly take medication. Instead, it is best to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination at a hospital to check if the endometrium is excessively thick. After a definitive diagnosis, symptomatic treatment can be administered.In daily life, pay close attention to local hygiene and prioritize wearing pure cotton, loose, and breathable underwear. Additionally, avoid excessive mental stress, get adequate rest, and do not stay up late to cultivate a healthy lifestyle.
