Patient's question:
Since I got the intrauterine device a year ago, my menstruation has lasted for about half a month, sometimes even longer. The ultrasound shows that the position of the device is normal. About five to six days before menstruation, the blood color is normal and the amount is also normal. Around the seventh or eighth day, there will be clumps of blood flowing out, and the color will be darker. After that, there will be about seven or eight days of blood-like discharge, but the color will be darker, even brown and odorless. A few days before the next menstruation, the white discharge will be transparent and in small amounts.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The normal duration of menstruation is 2 to 7 days, with a minority lasting 3 to 5 days. If menstruation lasts more than 7 days, it is considered prolonged. This is an abnormal phenomenon. Prolonged menstruation may be related to conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or endocrine disorders. You can go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the specific cause. After a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
