Patient's question:
On the fourth or fifth day after the menstrual period, sexual intercourse occurred. In the following days, it was found that the menstrual period did not completely subside, with occasional small amounts of bleeding. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
If your period hasn't ended yet and you have sexual activity, there is a risk of infection. It's important to avoid excessive fatigue, not eat cold or raw foods, maintain a good mood, and pay special attention to hygiene. In the early days of your period, you can eat more sesame oil pig liver to help expel waste blood. In the later days, you can eat sesame oil waist flowers. Additionally, stir-fried eggs with basil and sesame oil is also a good food for your period. Red bean soup, longan soup, and eight-treasure congee are all great snacks. There's also fermented glutinous rice with eggs, which is very good. In the later stages of your period, you might consider drinking some Shenghua decoction (the one for the period, not the one for postpartum recovery—just ask the herbalist shop to confirm). It can help thoroughly clear the body's impure blood.
