Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow isn't very heavy, the color is also quite light, and it often gets delayed. Is this a case of menstrual irregularity? I also want to ask: Will menstrual irregularity cause harm to my girlfriend?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual irregularity refers to abnormal changes in the menstrual cycle, volume, color, and quality of menstruation, accompanied by systemic inflammation and recurrent menstrual disorders. It is a common condition among women. The causes of menstrual irregularity include insufficient vital energy in the body, weakened disease resistance, significant deficiency of kidney qi, irregular diet, malnutrition, excessive sexual activity, falls and injuries, mechanical trauma, and various systemic diseases, all of which disrupt the coordination function of the ovaries and internal hormones, leading to emptiness of the Chong and Ren meridians, inability of the blood sea to overflow regularly, and abnormal menstrual patterns. Hello, the treatment of menstrual irregularity focuses on regulating the menstrual cycle to address the root cause. Accurate diagnosis is essential, and treatment should be tailored to individual symptoms. For cases where illness precedes menstrual irregularity, the primary focus should be on treating the illness first. Once the illness is resolved, the menstrual cycle will naturally regulate itself.
