Patient's question:
Before, my menstrual cycle was always very normal, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the cramps are severe. May I ask: Can I take soy isoflavones if my menstrual flow is light?Doctor's answer:
Soy isoflavones have a function similar to estrogen. Consuming them can help stabilize menstrual flow to some extent. However, some people may experience delayed menstruation after taking them. Actually, if you are already 43 years old and not planning to get pregnant, it is not advisable to artificially enhance menstrual flow, as this can easily lead to menstrual disorders during menopause. If you really want to regulate your condition, it is still recommended to go to the hospital and consult a doctor for Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
