Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods. Sometimes I get them every two or three months, and the flow is light, sometimes stopping within a day or two. Besides the problem of dysmenorrhea, I have taken herbs like Motherwort and White Chicken White Phoenix Pills, but the results have not been very ideal. I would like to ask how to better nourish and regulate this condition.Doctor's answer:
You have, if irregular menstruation does not respond well to conventional drug treatment, then further diagnosis is needed to identify the cause before confirming the medication method. The medications you are using, if they are ineffective, are likely not due to anemia. Blood tests to check for sex hormone excretion may be necessary, as it is possible to have hyperprolactinemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, or excessively high androgen excretion. Treatment for these conditions typically requires determining the use of estrogen and progesterone medications, and the treatment method usually needs to be maintained for 3 to 6 months. Shorter duration may result in poor effectiveness.
