Patient's question:
Since my first menstrual period in the second year of junior high school, my period has been irregular. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but now it has been like this for a long time—once it starts, it never stops for more than ten days. This time it's even worse, and it has been continuous for two months. I have been to the hospital for thorough checks, and they said my blood clotting function is too poor. Then I took progesterone, which worked when I was taking it, but after stopping it for a few months, it went out of whack again. I have also taken other Chinese herbal medicines to regulate my qi and blood, and in the past, the effects were quite noticeable. Now, it feels like it's not working anymore. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
