Adolescents with excessive menstrual bleeding and anemia should supplement iron, vitamin C, and protein. Severe anemia may require blood transfusion. Patients with prolonged bleeding should take antibiotics to prevent infection. During bleeding episodes, nutritional intake should be enhanced, excessive physical exertion avoided, and adequate rest ensured. The principle of drug therapy is to regulate the menstrual cycle and promote ovulation. High-dose estrogen can be used to rapidly promote endometrial growth, repair lesions, and achieve hemostasis within a short time. Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly and receive symptomatic treatment. They should avoid consuming raw or cold foods in daily life and must pay attention to keeping their bodies warm.
