Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is 28 days long. After giving birth (the child is almost two years old), the menstrual period has been consistently longer, sometimes lasting 9 days, sometimes 11 days. On the fifth day of the period, there was a brief period of light bleeding that seemed like it would stop, but it continued until the 9th to 11th day. Is this normal? Can I take progesterone? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation may be caused by emotional stress, cold exposure, dieting, alcohol consumption, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. It can also be due to organic changes in the body. It is recommended that you consult a specialist doctor for examination to identify the cause before treatment. During menstruation, it is important to keep warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimuli; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, enhance nutrition, and strengthen the body; avoid mental stress and maintain a pleasant mood.
