Patient's question:
My cousin said she has had irregular periods for a long time and now wants to regulate them. What should she eat to regulate her menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
The main way to regulate irregular menstruation is to enhance and alleviate metabolism through estrogen and progesterone. In addition, dietary choices can help reduce menstrual irregularities, such as beans, which are commonly diagnosed in clinical settings. It is best to first identify the underlying cause, such as undergoing an ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages or a sex hormone panel. If endocrine dysfunction is confirmed, hormone-based medications can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle.
