Patient's question:
It comes around every 40 days or so. In the past, it used to occur every two months, and there was one instance where it happened twice in one and a half months. It causes menstrual pain and blood clots.Past treatment and effectiveness: I have seen a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor and taken several herbal decoctions. I didn’t feel they were very effective. The first time I took 5 sets of herbs, there were no adverse reactions. The second time, after taking another 5 sets, I experienced stomach pain afterward.
What kind of help is needed: How can I treat irregular menstruation? How can I achieve what the doctor said about tonifying the kidneys and nurturing the ovaries? Should I have a thorough check-up for the six endocrine hormones at the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is mainly caused by endocrine disorders. The doctor mentioned that tonifying the kidneys targets kidney deficiency. If possible, it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination. To treat irregular menstruation effectively, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial. You can consume more walnuts and sesame seeds, which are beneficial for tonifying the kidneys. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is quite effective in regulating menstruation. You can share your condition with your attending physician and adhere to the treatment course. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
