Patient's question:
After giving birth to two children last year, the vagina has been constantly painful, and my menstrual cycle has also become irregular. I have severe lower abdominal bloating and pain. The community hospital said it's due to early ovarian failure, but I am very reluctant to seek Western medical treatment. Can Chinese medicine be effective for this? Can early ovarian failure be regulated with Chinese herbal medicine?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure is related to several factors, including postpartum recovery not being properly managed, excessive overexertion, long-term depression leading to liver qi stagnation, and disruptions in qi, blood, and nutrition. All of these can directly or indirectly affect the repair of the uterus and ovaries. Traditional Chinese medicine can assist in nurturing the ovaries by soothing the liver, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, and tonifying the kidneys to replenish essence. Its effectiveness in treating premature ovarian failure is undeniable.There are several treatment methods for premature ovarian failure, but since patients exhibit different symptoms, the chosen treatment approaches vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing any symptoms.
