Patient's question:
I vaguely remember that when I first had my period, my cycle was about seven or eight days long. Then the next time, I didn't have it for several months. Sometimes it would come every month. I'm now 17 years old, and I'm starting to feel a bit troubled by this issue. I'm still young, so I'd like to ask, how should irregular periods be treated?Doctor's answer:
Women with irregular menstruation can take blood-activating and period-regulating medications for conditioning. It is important to avoid consuming excessively cold foods during daily life. If exposed to cold during menstruation, it can easily lead to uterine cold, resulting in menstrual cycle disorders, reduced menstrual volume, continuously increasing menstrual volume, or dark-colored menstruation. It is recommended to consume more foods that replenish qi and nourish blood, which helps enhance the body's immunity and strengthen the constitution. Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
