Is irregular menstruation a sign of inflammation?

Patient's question:

Every time it ends after half a month, it comes back again. When it comes, it's quite decisive, and it ends within three days. One time, it started, but it was like coming and going rarely. The white discharge had a bit of blood in it and took a few days to become normal menstruation. Every time I have my period, there's a slight pain and cramping on the right side of my lower abdomen. Normally, I have a lot of white discharge, and during my period, I get lower back and back pain.
Past Treatment and Effects:
I used to be ignorant and had sexual activity for a period of time, but now that I've grown up, it's been over a year since I last had sex. I haven't had any sexual activity recently. I can't undergo a vaginal ultrasound in my current condition, and I feel very troubled.
Desired Help:
I don't know if it's inflammation. If it is, would it be helpful to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and take herbal medicine to regulate my period? Also, if it's an endocrine disorder, can I still see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?

Doctor's answer:

General menstrual disorders are generally divided into two major categories: the first is caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction, and the second is primarily due to changes in many qualities of the reproductive organs, including inflammation of the reproductive organs. Based on your description, the possibility of endocrine abnormalities is more likely. For the specific cause, you can go to the hospital for ultrasound and detailed endocrine examinations to identify the reason, so that treatment can be considered. For severe pelvic inflammatory disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
