Patient's question:
Every time my period comes, it's very on time, usually every 28 days. However, the duration of each period is quite long, lasting about 12 to 13 days to completely end. I paid close attention and noticed that it seems the period completely ends right after the ovulation period. But during ovulation, there's a bit of red discharge. In the last four or five days of the period, the flow is very light, and the color is dark, like dark brown. I don't know what this means. This has been happening for a long time, and it's been the same for the past two years.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello friend, your condition falls under menstrual irregularity and functional uterine bleeding, which is now commonly referred to in modern medicine as "Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding" (DUB). DUB is a common gynecological condition. Any abnormal uterine bleeding that, upon examination, shows no obvious organic lesions in the internal and external reproductive organs, pregnancy, inflammation, trauma, or systemic bleeding disorders, and is caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system regulating reproduction is termed functional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as DUB. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as "Sheng Liu."Advice: I recommend you visit a hospital for a gynecological examination and a routine vaginal discharge test. Your symptoms suggest there may be some gynecological inflammation, but don't worry. Once the results are confirmed, taking some medication should help. Wishing you good health!
