Patient's question:
I have developed many health issues again, not too severe but not too mild. They have been tormenting me on and off for several years. I have visited many hospitals, but there has been little improvement. Symptoms: Chronic lower back pain, weakness in the knees, a heavy and bloated lower abdomen, very regular menstruation but with very little flow, pale color with blood clots. Chronic constipation, with bowel movements usually starting dry and then becoming watery, and very small in quantity. Frequent urination, dark circles under the eyes. Cold intolerance, with severe mood swings when it gets worse. Laxatives are completely ineffective when constipated. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, some gynecological diseases can cause constipation. Based on your condition, the first priority is to stabilize your bowel movements. Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and develop a habit of regular bowel movements. Pay attention to rest and dietary habits, and enhance nutrition. The menstrual condition may be considered as qi stagnation and blood stasis. You can take medications such as Yueyue Shu Chongzhi, Shixiao San, Fu Ling Jinhao Pian, Fuke Desheng Wan, and Tiao Jing Bu Qi Wan for regulation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
