Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, the last period was on November 3rd, with a cycle of about 40 days. This time, I took 5 sets of traditional Chinese medicine. On December 23rd, it seemed like my period had started, but by today (the 28th), there were only a few streaks of blood. The TCM doctor said I have insufficient qi and prescribed me Yimucao Granules, 4 packets a day, 2 packets in the morning and 2 in the evening. Hello, does the 23rd count as the start of my period? There are only a few streaks of blood, when will they increase continuously?Doctor's answer:
The factors that can lead to menstrual disorders include psychological factors, uterine factors, gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc. It is recommended to undergo a six-item sex hormone test and a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis based on the examination results and provide symptomatic treatment. It is advised to relax your mood, alleviate stress, avoid catching colds, and refrain from consuming cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently.
