Patient's question:
This period arrived on the 11th and it's almost half a month since then, but it hasn't been clean yet. The flow hasn't been heavy; it's been light and intermittent. There's no abdominal pain, and no other symptoms. Please advise on what should be done.PS: I had a miscarriage on October 20th, and it was confirmed to be clean. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and Motherwort ointment!!
