Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation has been going on for over a year. Now, every month, menstruation does not come, and it used to be very normal, usually lasting five to seven days. Now it ends in just two days, and the blood volume is very little. I worry that if this continues for a long time, my body will have problems, and I want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. How is irregular menstruation checked carefully?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation requires a thorough examination of the uterus for conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, and cysts in the fallopian tubes. Gynecological inflammation can also affect menstrual regularity. A very small amount of blood flow may indicate insufficient qi and blood. It is recommended to consume foods that replenish qi and blood. Foods that are often eaten to reduce menstrual volume include Chinese chives, durian, and mutton. Avoid cold foods such as crabs, abalone, clam meat, cucumbers, lettuce, watermelon, and chilled beverages.
