Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!My girlfriend is 26 years old. She had menstrual cramps even when she was studying, and they were very severe. She still occasionally experiences them now.
On November 23, she started her period. We had sexual intercourse on December 4, and since December 6, she has had a discharge similar to menstrual blood, which has continued until today. I am very worried and don’t know if it’s a problem. Please advise, thank you!!
First follow-up question: I’m concerned about my girlfriend’s health because she used to have very severe menstrual cramps. This time, she has had vaginal bleeding for such a long time again.
Doctor's answer:
The causes of abnormal secretions, such as excessive mental stress, external influences, endocrine disorders, taking birth control pills, and gynecological diseases, do not require treatment if there are no other discomfort symptoms. A small amount of bleeding after menstruation is often due to: the follicle produced by the ovary being delayed in the next menstrual cycle, resulting in insufficient estrogen secretion, which prevents the timely repair of the endometrium that is shed during the menstrual period. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
