Patient's question:
Because of poor kidney function, I was prescribed some herbs by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to regulate my body. How can I alleviate the menstrual irregularity caused by the medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if it is caused by medication, you need to stop taking the medication first and then gradually restore your health. If you have poor kidney health, stopping medication may interfere with your kidneys. Additionally, if you are taking herbs to regulate your menstrual cycle, stopping them may lead to menstrual irregularities. Therefore, to regulate your menstrual cycle effectively, you must first stop taking kidney medications before attempting to regulate your period. It is recommended that you consult your primary physician, who will determine the appropriate plan based on your specific condition.
