Patient's question:
I have always had irregular menstruation. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined that it is just a menstrual disorder. I have taken many medications to regulate it, and during the period of taking the medicine, it was basically okay, but once I stopped, it returned to its original state. A few days ago, I heard that beauty salons can provide acupuncture treatment for menstrual disorders, and I would like to try it. Hello doctor, is acupuncture treatment effective for menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
I think the effect of acupuncture is not ideal. It is necessary to promptly go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for an abdominal ultrasound. In addition to a thorough check of hormone levels, a clear diagnosis should be made followed by symptomatic treatment. Oral estrogen can be taken to help regulate the body, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine can also be used.On a daily basis, it is important to drink more water, get adequate rest, ensure deep sleep, avoid staying up late, and prevent overexertion. Eat more vegetables and fruits, engage in outdoor exercise more often, and maintain a positive mood. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
