Patient's question:
My wife got her period about 30 days after giving birth, and it lasted for more than ten days. During those days, it came on and off. Basically, it would stop after 3-4 days and then return again the next day. Each time, the flow was not heavy.What could be the reason for this?
Additional question: She has been experiencing lower abdominal pain, and it seems like there is a hard lump near her navel. What could be causing this?
Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, experiencing menstrual pain and discomfort may be symptoms of dysmenorrhea. It is often caused by gynecological inflammation, with common conditions being pelvic inflammation, endometrial inflammation, and adenomyosis. Proper diagnosis is necessary for targeted treatment.During menstruation, avoid sexual intercourse and bathing. Avoid contact with cold water and raw/cold foods. Drink some brown sugar water in moderation, as it has a warming effect, can help unblock meridians, and aids in menstrual flow. If the condition is severe, you may take Yuanhu Granules.
