Patient's question:
My girlfriend has had irregular menstruation for 23 months and 6 months. Because she is a student, her diet is irregular. Previously, her menstrual cycle was around 53 days, but now it is about 40 days. Every time she has her period, she experiences severe stomach pain due to uterine coldness. Even when she is not menstruating, she often has arm and thigh pain. The pain is more severe at night, making it difficult for her to sleep. Sometimes she wakes up from the pain even after falling asleep.Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by factors such as excessive exercise tension, irregular lifestyle, or consuming extremely cold foods. You can now go to the hospital for an ultrasound and a six-hormone test. Based on the specific examination results at that time, you can take traditional Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and treatment to regulate and nourish your body. During the medication period, you must pay attention to rest and avoid consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to monitor your recovery.
