Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How should irregular menstruation be treated to improve it?Doctor's answer:
Back and shoulder pain generally requires consideration of cervical spine diseases or periarthritis of the shoulder. It is unrelated to the menstrual cycle. If menstrual irregularities reappear, it may be due to stagnation of qi and blood stasis, insufficient qi and blood, or uterine coldness. For back and shoulder pain, detailed X-ray examinations of the cervical spine and shoulder joints are necessary to identify the condition. For menstrual irregularities, detailed tests such as the six sex hormone tests and abdominal ultrasound are usually required, or a consultation with the traditional Chinese medicine department to determine the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
