My period just ended.

Many girls have their periods come again and again, which is most likely ovulation bleeding, a type of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Ovulation bleeding refers to the periodic small amount of vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods. Ovulation bleeding usually occurs about 5 to 7 days after the end of menstruation. If the amount of bleeding is small, it will disappear in one or two days, or it only occurs occasionally, you don't need to worry about it. If bleeding occurs repeatedly and lasts for a long time, it will affect ovulation and even fertility.

Causes

1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main cause of intermenstrual bleeding is Yin deficiency, liver depression, damp heat, blood stasis, spleen deficiency, etc., which cause the Chong and Ren meridians to be disturbed during the period of stasis and the blood sea is not solid.

2. Western medicine believes that after the follicles mature and ovulate, the estrogen level will drop significantly. For some women, the lower estrogen level cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local shedding of the endometrium and a small amount of breakthrough bleeding. However, under normal circumstances, after ovulation, with the formation of the corpus luteum, the corpus luteum secretes estrogen and progesterone, which will quickly repair the endometrium and change it to the secretory phase, allowing the endometrium to thicken and repair and the bleeding to stop.

treat

Small doses of estrogen can be taken orally. For example, Progynova should be taken from the 8th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle and last for 3 to 7 days. You can also take a small amount of hemostatic drugs, such as Anluoxue. In traditional Chinese medicine treatment, according to different syndromes, oral Zhibai Dihuang Pills (yin deficiency), Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills (liver depression), Ankun Granules (damp heat), Longxuejie Tablets (blood stasis), Shenling Baizhu Powder (spleen deficiency) etc. can be taken, orally, or decoctions can be taken orally, and good results can be achieved in combination with acupuncture.

Prognosis

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs occasionally and can be observed without treatment. For women with persistent ovulatory bleeding, which usually interferes with conception because it occurs during ovulation, oral contraceptives can be used to treat it after excluding other diseases.
