Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly a year ago. At that time, I discussed with my husband and decided not to keep the baby (we already had a child). Now, a year after the miscarriage, my menstrual cycle is irregular. Every time I have my period, it comes on time, but the flow is especially heavy, and I also experience severe menstrual cramps. Could this be a consequence of the surgery back then? Can I seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to (treat and regulate my body)?Doctor's answer:
Women undergoing miscarriage may damage the endometrium and the endocrine condition, so it is recommended to visit a hospital for relevant examinations. Generally, an ultrasound examination and a detailed check of six sexual hormones are required. The two results are comprehensively evaluated to determine the cause of menstrual disorders. Afterward, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine should be used for regulation. While undergoing medication treatment, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
