Patient's question:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. According to your description, there are many reasons that can cause prolonged menstruation. Normally, it lasts for 3 to 7 days. I suggest you go to the hospital for a relevant examination in a timely manner. After confirming the diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. I hope my answer can be helpful to you.Generally, there are two reasons for this condition:
1. The medication needs to be taken at the same time every day. That is to say, if you take it at 8 PM every night, you must also take it at the same time the next day. If the timing is not fixed, it may lead to intermittent bleeding due to the inability to maintain stable hormone levels in the body.
2. The dosage may be insufficient.
Recommended actions:
- If there is bleeding, increase the dosage. This means taking one pill every 12 hours on the same day. Generally, bleeding should stop by the second or third day.
- If there are still isolated cases of bleeding, you can increase it to one pill every 8 hours. Once the bleeding is controlled, gradually reduce the dosage until you take one pill per day at the same time.
