Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I gave birth to a boy via cesarean section on June 20th. During the postpartum period, I had very little bleeding, which was intermittent in consistency, ranging from light red to red. By the 40th day, it had turned completely red, and I thought it was my period. It stopped after two days. A week later, it started again, lasted for a week without stopping, and the amount increased. At the medical clinic, they found a small amount of blood clots and prescribed some hemostatic medication, as well as oxytocin injections. After another week, it finally stopped. Since then, until now, every time it starts, the amount is very small, like it's about to end, sometimes brown, and it takes 4-5 days to become as heavy as a normal period. Then, after two days, it returns to the previous state of being intermittent.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction, and the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammation, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires an examination using ultrasound and a six-item sex hormone test to identify the specific cause. Treatment for the primary condition should be administered, followed by appropriately supplementing with some Chinese herbal medicines for regulating menstruation. It is also important to keep warm and rest during the menstrual period.
