Patient's question:
I am a middle school student. I got my period at the age of 12, but I feel that my body isn't doing well, and my period is always irregular. Here, I mainly want to consult if it is normal for a 17-year-old to have an irregular period, and what methods can be used to regulate it? Please guide me, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally, menstrual irregularity is indeed considered abnormal and may be caused by significant endocrine fluctuations during puberty. In very rare cases, it could be due to some imbalance in qi and blood. It is best to have a medical examination at the hospital.During daily life, you can take many traditional Chinese medicine formulas that replenish qi and regulate menstruation. Specific medications should be taken strictly according to the doctor's advice. You can also combine them with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture or moxibustion for conditioning.
It is essential to maintain a regular lifestyle and diet. Regulating physical and mental health while keeping personal hygiene clean can help prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
