Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual cycle has been very irregular, and I want to take care of my body. During my period, I also experience menstrual cramps, which last for a long time. I want to take care of my body to prepare for having children in the future. I would like to ask, what Chinese medicine is most effective for treating irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of menstrual irregularities vary among individuals and may include excessively long or short menstrual cycles, prolonged or shortened menstrual periods, abnormally low or high menstrual flow, and dysmenorrhea during menstruation. When treating menstrual irregularities with traditional Chinese medicine, different medications are required based on the specific manifestations. Therefore, patients should first visit the traditional Chinese medicine department or gynecology department of a public hospital for a follow-up examination, describe their menstrual history in detail, undergo appropriate and thorough examinations, and only then can targeted medication be determined based on the specific circumstances.
