Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, sometimes accompanied by menstrual pain, edema, and continuous weight gain without significant dietary changes. Is this caused by endocrine disorders? How can it be improved?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual pain is an independent disease, and in traditional Chinese medicine, the causes are often related to blood stasis, qi stagnation, and blood coldness. "When blood does not flow smoothly, water accumulates" is the main reason for "edema" during menstruation. Weight gain and menstrual irregularities may be manifestations of endocrine disorders in Western medicine. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to check the six endocrine tests and undergo an ultrasound examination of the uterus and appendages. Treatment should be symptomatic based on specific conditions. During menstruation, you can try taking "Motherwort Granules" to see if it helps. This type of gynecological issue is very common, and you can visit any regular general hospital or a specialized gynecological hospital. Best wishes!
