Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, for about a year now. Recently, I've started taking traditional Chinese medicine, but I'm getting acne on my face. What's the reason? Is it because of the traditional Chinese medicine or detoxification that's causing the acne? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The acne on your face has nothing to do with taking traditional Chinese medicine. It's mainly related to endocrine issues. I suggest you go to the hospital to get a sex hormone six-item test on the third day of your next menstrual period. Since the traditional Chinese medicine you've been taking for a year hasn't been effective, you should try Western medicine. I vaguely remember that you need to fast before the test. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It's recommended that patients pay close attention to the hygiene of the private parts, with a light diet as the foundation.
