Patient's question:
I heard from my mom that my cousin is now 18 years old and hasn't had her period yet. My aunt took her to see a doctor, who diagnosed it as amenorrhea. She took Western medicine, but it didn't work. Yesterday, she went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and brought some herbal medicine home to regulate her health. I wonder if the herbal medicine for treating amenorrhea is effective and how quickly it works?Doctor's answer:
The condition of your aunt falls under primary amenorrhea, and there are several reasons that can cause this disease. Treatment can be quite challenging. If medication does not work, you can try treating it with traditional Chinese medicine methods. However, traditional Chinese medicine requires a longer period of adjustment and recovery, so it may not be as effective as Western medicine in treating certain conditions. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and undergo regular check-ups at the hospital.
