Patient's question:
These past few months, I've been experiencing irregular periods, lower back pain, and weakness in my legs. I don't know what's wrong, and I feel uncomfortable all day long. Others say it's menopause, but I'm still young, I haven't even reached forty yet. I find it a bit hard to believe. Hello, what should I do about irregular periods, lower back pain, and weakness in my legs?Doctor's answer:
If you have been experiencing irregular menstruation in the past few months, it is necessary to have a thorough examination to identify the cause. You can have blood tests for the six major sex hormones on the third day of your period while fasting, and a gynecological ultrasound after your period to look for the underlying issue. If there are no any organic inflammatory conditions, you can use traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies for regulation. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. If you also experience lower back pain and weak legs, it may indicate kidney deficiency, and traditional Chinese medicine regulation can be very effective. Gynecological diseases are common conditions that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
