Patient's question:
I started having my period last July and it hasn't stopped since. At its worst, it would stop for two or three days and then come back again. I took medication, but it had no effect. I had an ultrasound, sex hormone tests, and a cervical screening.The sex hormone tests showed some issues, but the ultrasound revealed that the ovaries were fine. How should this be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged duration is common in conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometriosis. If the examination does not reveal any organic lesions, functional uterine bleeding should be considered. This refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine regulatory system disorders, with no obvious organic lesions in the internal or external genitalia. It is the most common type of menstrual disorder and is often seen in adolescence and menopause. It is recommended that you undergo relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment.
