Patient's question:
I have been experiencing this since the beginning of this year until now. My menstrual flow has always been relatively light, and the duration is also quite short. Originally, it used to last about five days each time, but now sometimes it only lasts for three days and then stops. Additionally, my periods often delay. What could be the reasons for my reduced menstrual flow and delayed periods?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there is a recurrence of menstruation with a shorter period duration, reduced menstrual flow, and delayed menstruation, this condition is more consistent with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a disease caused by endocrine disorders. It is primarily due to excessive estrogen and insufficient progesterone. In this case, traditional Chinese medicine can be very effective in regulating menstrual irregularities and period disorders.
