Patient's question:
In the past few months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, and the amount of blood flow has also been somewhat excessive, accompanied by abdominal pain symptoms. I went to the hospital for a detailed check-up of the six endocrine tests and five thyroid function tests. The doctor prescribed several boxes of traditional Chinese medicine. What should I pay attention to when taking traditional Chinese medicine for menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
When taking oral traditional Chinese medicine, it is important to pay attention to avoiding spicy, irritating, greasy, and extremely cold foods. Avoid foods that may trigger allergic reactions, such as fish, shrimp, and seafood. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Ensure sufficient dietary intake and consume more light and foods to prevent catching a cold. You can use warm water to soak your feet every night, which helps dispel coldness and is beneficial for treating irregular menstruation. Go to the hospital for follow-up checks on schedule. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
