Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Today I noticed that my menstrual flow contained a milky white substance, mixed with the blood, with a few streaks of blood. It wasn't much. What could this be? Do I have any illness? Thank you!
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is usually a normal situation, caused by the shedding of a large area of the endometrium. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene. During menstruation, it is important to keep warm, avoid cold, raw, and stimulating foods; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, enhance nutrition, and strengthen the body; it is best to avoid intense emotional fluctuations and mental stimuli, and maintain a cheerful mood; sexual activity is absolutely forbidden during menstruation.
