Patient's question:
I have had very little menstruation since my first period. My mom says it's due to a deficiency of qi and blood and that it will improve as I grow older. I'm already 16 years old, and I've had my period for about two or three years. I don't know if what my mom says is right, and I don't understand much about menstrual issues, so I'm asking—is this normal?Doctor's answer:
You are only 16 years old. At your age, menstrual cycle disorders are quite common. If you don't have any other discomforting symptoms, this is not a big problem. It is recommended to wait and see for now.I suggest you adjust your mindset and avoid putting too much pressure on yourself. Pay attention to enhancing your dietary nutrition, such as eating more eggs, lean meat, dairy products, poultry, vegetables, and fruits. Drink plenty of water, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late or overworking, and ensure you get enough deep sleep. Also, engage in appropriate physical exercise to improve your physical condition.
