Patient's question:
My period is always irregular, either delayed or early. Sometimes it comes again in just 19 days, and the amount of blood varies. The color is also very dark. Please ask: How can I regulate my period if it's light? Is there a problem?Doctor's answer:
Low menstrual flow may be caused by premature ovarian failure, hormonal imbalance, or endocrine disorders. For treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is primarily used. It is recommended to visit a gynecology department for a check-up and have thorough tests for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone to confirm whether the issue lies with the ovaries or the pituitary gland. Additionally, an ultrasound of the uterus and its appendages should be performed to examine the endometrium and ovarian condition.If endocrine disorders are present, you can consult a TCM gynecologist for syndrome differentiation and treatment. You may also take Chinese herbal formulas like Eryngo Root () and White Chicken and Phoenix Pill () as supplements.
How many days does your menstrual cycle last? The recurrence of gynecological conditions significantly impacts women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene in daily life and avoid sexual activity to prevent further complications.
