Patient's question:
Since my menstrual period started, it hasn't been normal. It always comes later or earlier. Before, it was only a few days off, but now sometimes it doesn't come for a month, or it comes only once or twice a month. My period is irregular. The doctor says it's caused by qi deficiency. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation caused by qi deficiency can be addressed by revisiting the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the hospital for further consultation and using herbal medicine for regulation over a period of time. It is important to maintain a calm and pleasant mood at all times, consume more fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, and grapes, eat plenty of fresh vegetables, and avoid spicy or irritating foods as well as foods that have been stored for too long. Engaging in regular aerobic outdoor exercise can help enhance physical fitness, and it is advisable not to stay up late. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is essential to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating fewer spicy or irritating foods. It is also necessary to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
