Patient's question:
I have always had irregular menstruation. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined to be menstrual disorders. I have taken many medications to regulate it, and during the period of taking the medicine, it was basically okay, but it returns to the original state when not taking it. A few days ago, it was said that beauty salons can treat menstrual disorders with acupuncture. I would like to try it. Hello, doctor, can acupuncture treatment be effective for menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
I think the effect of acupuncture is not ideal. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department promptly and have 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 rebalance hormones, 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, and maintain a positive mood. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
