Patient's question:
I went to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for irregular periods. The TCM practitioner always prescribes herbs for nourishing the body and reducing internal heat, except for things like maintaining pregnancy. But what should I do if I don't get my period even when I take the medicine? Taking progesterone has too many side effects, and I also have mild abdominal pain during my period?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation can be caused by environmental changes, exposure to cold, poor emotional state, and ovarian function issues. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound and blood hormone level tests on the third day of the menstrual period to confirm the cause and provide targeted treatment. During the menstrual period, pay attention to preventing cold exposure and overexertion. For gynecological patients, in addition to targeted treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care training. For example, during treatment, maintain good hygiene and keep the private area clean, avoid sexual intercourse, and consume fewer spicy and irritating foods.
