Patient's question:
I gave birth to my son in early 2006. During childbirth, there was a significant amount of bleeding, and I subsequently developed cervical erosion. Despite ongoing treatment, it hasn't improved. In early 2007, I had an induced abortion. About four months after the abortion, I took emergency contraception three times during a similar period and underwent laser treatment for cervical erosion. While being treated for gynecological conditions, the attending physician asked if my menstrual flow was excessive. I replied that it was a bit more, not just a little. The gynecologist then prescribed what they called a "menstrual regulation medicine." In the following days, although my gynecological condition improved, my menstrual flow gradually decreased, becoming less and less. I only needed two pads, and my period lasted only 2 to 3 days. The menstrual cycle also advanced by a few days, and the color was abnormal, mixed with some old blood.Previous treatment and outcomes: I measured
Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is often deficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine, primarily due to insufficient qi and blood, and inadequate nourishment. Other factors, such as blood clots and damp-heat stagnation in the lower burner, can also cause menstrual issues. If you have such conditions, careful differentiation is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. You should also provide a detailed description of your menstruation, such as its color (what color is it?), any old blood, whether it's clots or other substances, and the color of your tongue coating, especially at the root of the tongue. Is it red or purple? Additionally, describe your urination and its color. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
