Patient's question:
Medical Description: On August 10th of this year, there was uterine bleeding. I went to the hospital. Then, a D&C (dilation and curettage) was performed for pathological examination, and it was reported as "secretory endometrium." I don't know what this means and hope to get an explanation.History of Treatment and Effects: No treatment has been administered so far.
Help Needed: I don't know what "secretory endometrium" means and hope to get an explanation.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, estrogen stimulation alone affects the endometrium, leading to abnormal endometrial hyperplasia, which causes abnormal vaginal bleeding. Since the endometrium is only stimulated by estrogen, it exhibits a secretory pattern. If there is no implantation of a fertilized egg during the secretory phase, the endometrium will shed, entering the menstrual phase again, resulting in vaginal bleeding and the onset of menstruation, marking the beginning of a new menstrual cycle. It is recommended that you visit the traditional Chinese medicine department of the hospital after surgery to take some Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your body. Also, avoid staying up late, maintain a regular schedule, and reduce stress. It is advised to rest, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, and cold foods. Treatment methods should be chosen based on the results and the condition of the illness.
