Patient's question:
32 years old, about four years ago, it happened suddenly again. The menstrual flow is relatively shorter, lasting about three days, with occasional blood. On the first day of the period, there may be a slight lower abdominal discomfort. Pay attention to preventing colds, and it doesn't interfere with daily life at all. There is very little pain, and hands and feet are not cold. Usually, I am quite afraid of and dislike cold drinks. How can I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, if your menstrual flow has been heavy for many years, it should be considered that there may be an imbalance of estrogen in your body, or it could be an issue with thyroid function. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. Blood tests should be conducted to check six hormones and thyroid function. Based on the results, oral medication can be used for regulation for a period of time. If everything is fine, you can then decide to take traditional Chinese medicine. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
