Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they've been getting more and more irregular. The timing, flow, and color are all off. Could it be that I have some kind of illness? Please ask: What are the causes of menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for menstrual disorders are many, and in clinical diagnosis, they are typically divided into two major categories: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, among other inflammatory conditions, which can also lead to menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires a thorough examination, including ultrasound and six sex hormone tests, to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then be administered based on the primary condition, with appropriate use of many traditional Chinese medicine herbs for regulation. Pay attention to preventing colds during the menstrual period and resting.
For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised to women patients.
