Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation has been bothering me for a long time. Since childhood, my periods have been unstable. I have taken Chinese medicine for regulation, but it hasn't improved at all. Either my periods are irregular or the amount of blood flow is inconsistent. Now I'm about to get married, and I want to take care of my health. What should I do about this condition?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation requires a thorough gynecological ultrasound examination, as well as a detailed check of hormone excretion and the cervix. Before adjusting the menstrual cycle, it is essential to first identify the underlying causes of the irregularity, including gynecological diseases, endocrine disorders, lifestyle factors, family relationships, and emotional factors, all of which can be contributing reasons.If the examination reveals gynecological inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment can be used to stabilize the menstrual cycle. If the irregularity is caused by abnormal hormone excretion, it is necessary to regulate the hormone levels. If no organic diseases are detected, some traditional Chinese medicine herbs that tonify the kidneys, strengthen the spleen, and replenish qi and blood can also be used in conjunction.
