Patient's question:
Last year, I treated functional uterine bleeding with Mifeprex for three months, which worked. Three months later, in June of this year, my period didn't come for a long time, and when it did, it bled heavily and lasted for a long duration. After taking traditional Chinese medicine to stop the bleeding, I am now undergoing a course of treatment. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for two months.Could you please tell me if there are any potential negative effects from this treatment, and what precautions I should take?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, functional uterine bleeding is divided into primary and secondary types. For secondary functional uterine bleeding, it is recommended to actively treat the primary disease to prevent recurrence. If the traditional Chinese medicine you are currently taking is effective, I hope you continue treatment under the guidance of your attending physician. Rest more, drink plenty of warm water, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity, and change underwear and pants frequently.
