Patient's question:
Since having my child, I have had irregular periods. At first, the periods were long and heavy, and later, I started experiencing symptoms of dysmenorrhea again, along with some anemia. Then, I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, wanting to use herbal medicine to regulate this condition. How long does it take to regulate irregular periods with herbal medicine?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, I have had irregular menstruation. The amount of blood flow during menstruation is relatively heavy, and I also experience symptoms of dysmenorrhea again. You can first go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination to determine the cause of the dysmenorrhea. It is necessary to rule out conditions such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. If there are none, it is just regular menstrual irregularity. Treating menstrual cycles with traditional Chinese medicine usually requires at least three months of treatment.When it comes to gynecological diseases, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to personal care. For example, pay more attention to hygiene in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication.
