Patient's question:
Chronic menstrual irregularity. Traditional Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis says it's caused by cold exposure. But I've had menstrual irregularity for nearly ten years, and it's not possible that I've been exposed to cold for all these years, right? I'm a bit skeptical about what the doctor said, so I'm not very confident about taking the medicine he prescribed.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation can last for a long time, and it can also be caused by exposure to cold. However, it is still closely related to endocrine issues. First, get hormone tests and a gynecological ultrasound to identify the cause of the irregular menstruation. If there are abnormal hormone levels, hormone supplementation may be needed to regulate the menstrual cycle. If hormone levels are normal, focus on preventing cold exposure. Drinking ginger and sugar water regularly can help alleviate symptoms caused by irregular menstruation. Cold in the uterus can also lead to irregular menstruation symptoms. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, and have regular follow-up tests during medication.
