Patient's question:
It comes around every 40 days or so. In the past, it used to appear every two months, and there was one instance where it occurred 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 doctor and taken several herbal prescriptions. I didn’t feel they were very effective. The first time I took 5 sets of medicine, there were no adverse reactions. The second time I took 5 sets, I experienced stomach pain after taking them.
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? Do I need to have a thorough check-up for six endocrine hormone tests at the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is mainly caused by endocrine disorders. The doctor mentioned that replenishing the kidneys targets kidney deficiency. If conditions permit, 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 replenishing the kidneys. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is effective in regulating menstruation. You can share your condition with your attending physician and adhere to the prescribed treatment duration. 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 external genital cleanliness and change underwear frequently.
