Patient's question:
I tend to be quite cold-sensitive, and my complexion isn't very good either. I have a lot of spots, especially during my period, which is always irregular, dark in color, and with very little flow. Please ask: How can I treat back and shoulder pain, sometimes accompanied by a slight fever, like a high fever? How can I regulate my menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Back and shoulder pain generally requires consideration of cervical spine diseases or periarthritis of the shoulder, which is unrelated to the menstrual cycle. If menstrual irregularities reappear, it may be due to reasons such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, insufficient qi and blood, or uterine coldness. For shoulder pain, it is necessary to conduct X-rays of the cervical spine and shoulder joints for a thorough examination to identify the condition. For menstrual irregularities, it is generally recommended to undergo tests for six sex hormones and abdominal ultrasound, or consult a traditional Chinese medicine department to determine the cause and provide targeted treatment. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
