Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!My two menstrual periods have been lasting 7 or 8 days each time. By the fourth day, the flow isn’t heavy—sometimes there’s none for half a day, and then it starts again. Before, it used to finish in just 5 days. I don’t know what’s going on?
For the past six months, I’ve been feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen. Sometimes it hurts for a bit, but not badly. Other times, it feels like cramps or an upset stomach. My discharge is abnormal—cloudy, odorless, but sometimes it’s a bit yellow. I was diagnosed with mild cervical erosion, but the doctor said my stomach pain might be due to pressure on my intestines. I don’t know if that’s true? This
Doctor's answer:
HelloProlonged menstrual period and abnormal vaginal discharge are related to endocrine disorders and mild cervical erosion.
The abdominal pain sometimes feels like cramps, possibly caused by internal heat. Avoid spicy and easily heat-inducing dry snacks or foods about three days before your period. If symptoms do not improve after observation, seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
