Patient's question:
My wife has had a child for a year now, but her menstrual cycle has been irregular. When she had a thorough physical examination, there were no abnormalities found. Now, not only is it irregular, but she also experiences menstrual cramps. During the cramps, she has to take medication or rely on it. What should I do about irregular menstruation and menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you explained, your wife should be experiencing irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea due to endocrine dysfunction. It may also be caused by overexertion after giving birth, irregular diet and sleep patterns, or exposure to cold, leading to body cold and uterine cold. It is best to visit the hospital on the third day of her menstrual period to check her endocrine hormones. If there are abnormalities, she will need to be nursed back to health under the guidance of a professional doctor for a period of time. She can also take Chinese medicine together for nursing care.
