Menstrual spotting caused by diverticulum

Menstrual spotting caused by uterine diverticulum can be treated through general management, medication, or surgical intervention. The specific approaches are analyzed as follows:

1. General Management

Uterine diverticulum is a condition in which a cleft or pouch forms within the uterine wall. This pouch can trap menstrual blood, potentially leading to prolonged menstrual bleeding or even postcoital bleeding in severe cases. If diagnosed with uterine diverticulum causing persistent menstrual spotting, applying warm compresses and massage, along with drinking plenty of warm water during menstruation, may help promote blood expulsion and improve symptoms.

2. Medication

Prolonged menstrual bleeding due to uterine factors indicates abnormal retention of menstrual blood within the uterus. It is important to facilitate timely expulsion of this retained blood. Under medical supervision, medications such as misoprostol tablets or progesterone capsules may be prescribed for treatment.

3. Surgical Treatment

Surgical intervention generally yields better results than medication alone. Laparoscopic surgery can be performed to smooth out the affected area, eliminating the pouch so that menstrual blood no longer accumulates, thereby resolving the abnormal bleeding.

During this period, it is recommended to maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, or otherwise irritating foods.
