Patient's question:
I haven't known why my menstruation has been irregular for the past few months. Sometimes it comes twice a month, and sometimes it comes earlier. I haven't been divorced for long and want to have a child. I want to know if irregular menstruation can cause infertility symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Not infertility caused by menstrual irregularities, but rather menstrual irregularities and infertility caused by one or several underlying causes in a woman's body. In other words, menstrual irregularities are a signal of infertility. For example, patients with ovulation disorders often experience menstrual symptoms such as reduced menstrual flow, pale color, delayed periods, or secondary amenorrhea. Western medicine believes it is due to ovarian dysfunction, while traditional Chinese medicine holds that it is mostly caused by cold in the uterus and insufficient qi and blood. In patients with tubal infertility, the menstrual symptoms often include excessive blood clots, dark menstrual color, and poor blood flow. Western medicine believes the cause is mostly blocked or obstructed fallopian tubes.
