Patient's question:
Doctor,I had a cervical erosion surgery two years ago. A few months later, I started experiencing a week-long brownish discharge every time before my period, not a lot at first, but increasing as the period approached, and finally turning into red menstrual blood. This has always been the case, and it still is now. I have also seen a doctor before, but they said it was nothing. What should I do? What could be the cause of this? If medication is needed, what should I take? Thank you!
First follow-up question: Additionally, my periods are not heavy, and they usually last about three days.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is usually seen in women with cold uterus, which is often caused by improper diet leading to excessive body cold. Medication can be taken, such as Ai Fu Nu Gong Wan, to regulate it. It is important to pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, not overexerting oneself, not eating cold or raw foods, and avoiding catching colds. Persist in soaking feet with hot water. During acute pain, you can take Fenbid and Yuan Hu Zhi Tong Pian for symptomatic treatment.
