Patient's question:
Starting this year, about a week after my menstrual period, I notice a small amount of blood. I heard from others that this symptom is ovulation bleeding. Yesterday, I thought of going to a pharmacy to buy some medicine to treat it. The salesperson at the store recommended taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Gujing Wan, and Xuefu Zhuyu Wan together. I don't know if this is okay.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it could be functional uterine bleeding. Now, medicine commonly refers to it as "Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding" (DUB). DUB is a common gynecological condition. Any abnormal uterine bleeding that, after examination, shows no apparent organic lesions in the internal or external reproductive organs, and is not caused by pregnancy, tumors, inflammation, trauma, or systemic bleeding disorders, but is instead due to dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system regulating reproduction, is referred to as functional uterine bleeding, or DUB. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to clarify the condition before starting treatment. Do not self-medicate.
