Patient's question:
Does blood deficiency cause menstrual irregularities? My periods are always irregular, and I don't know if it's related to my blood deficiency.Doctor's answer:
Anemia can lead to menstrual irregularities and may also cause infrequent menstruation. You can consume foods that help replenish qi and nourish blood, such as Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin), brown sugar water, and red dates. If anemia recurs, you can take Ejiao oral liquid—twice a day, one vial each time. If fatigue and dizziness symptoms reappear, you can also take Qi Shen Yi Qi Dripping Pills—three times a day, one packet each time. Avoid drinking beer frequently and do not overwork.
