Patient's question:
I am an athlete. Initially, I had a low menstrual flow, and then I didn't have a period for two months. After taking a few days of Guizhi Fuling pills, my period came for four days, but the flow was still low. Later, I took traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, but now I haven't had a period for three months. At the pharmacy, they recommended I take Deer Placenta Cream. Is this medicine effective? Do I need to go to the hospital for a blood test?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, my suggestion is that you check your blood and sex hormone six on the third to fifth day of your period to identify the cause. The menstrual cycle can be affected by environmental factors, emotions, stress, and exposure to cold. Occasional early or delayed periods are normal. Considering the long duration since your last period, it may be due to endocrine disorders. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination first and then focus on (regulating). For gynecological patients, in addition to receiving proper medical treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene.
