Hello, First, the underlying cause of the patient’s bleeding must be identified. In women, vaginal bleeding is most commonly due to endometrial shedding—the natural shedding of the uterine lining—which manifests as menstruation. This may represent normal menstrual bleeding or abnormal uterine bleeding. In fact, hormonal therapy is the most effective method for controlling bleeding, as only hormones can halt endometrial shedding. However, hormonal treatment has specific indications and contraindications. Improper use of hormones may even induce iatrogenic vaginal bleeding. Moreover, if the endometrium is excessively thick or the administered hormone dose is insufficient, endometrial shedding cannot be effectively suppressed—hence the persistent bleeding. Therefore, identifying the precise cause of bleeding is essential before selecting appropriate treatment. Treatment choice should be guided by both the etiology of bleeding and the patient’s age. Conventional hemostatic agents—including thrombin and Yunnan Baiyao—do not address the root cause of bleeding; they provide only symptomatic relief. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
