Patient's question:
Now the baby is already two years old, but ever since the delivery, she has had irregular menstruation. Every time she menstruates, the flow is very light with blood clots, and sometimes she has two periods in a month. She has taken many traditional Chinese medicines, but her condition hasn't improved. She wants to try moxibustion treatment. Can moxibustion treat irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation with a relatively small amount of flow and blood clots is primarily considered to be caused by endocrine disorders or abnormal endometrium. In rare cases, it may also be due to poor postpartum recovery and conditioning. It is best to visit a hospital for a check-up. You can also take some blood-activating and period-regulating medications orally on a regular basis, but specific medication should be followed according to the doctor's advice. You can also use mugwort sticks to moxibustion on the Sanyinjiao points. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
