Patient's question:
I have very irregular periods. Sometimes they come early, sometimes they are delayed. At times, I don't get my period for a whole month. This has drawn my attention, and I'm also afraid that irregular periods will affect my fertility. If periods are abnormal, it must mean there's something wrong somewhere. Doctor, how should I take care of my periods when they are irregular?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, such as early or delayed periods without a regular pattern, is a symptom of menstrual disorders. Prolonged menstrual disorders may potentially affect future fertility, so it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. First, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound and a detailed check-up of sex hormone levels to diagnose the cause of the menstrual disorder before treatment. Generally, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine orally, or under the guidance of a doctor, take traditional Chinese medicine preparations to regulate your condition.
