Patient's question:
Doctor, I haven't had my period for about three months, and more importantly, my period has been irregular, and I've been getting acne on my face, as well as some abdominal issues and pain. I don't know if it's because of the irregular period causing these problems. If it is, how can I solve the issue of irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation requires a blood test for 6 sex hormones on the 3rd to 5th day of the menstrual cycle. For the detailed examination, it is necessary to fast in the morning. Among these 6 tests, one is for prolactin. Before checking prolactin, it is important to be both physically and mentally relaxed to obtain accurate results. Therefore, it is recommended to sit on the hospital chair for half an hour before having the blood test. The treatment plan should combine traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine based on the examination results.
