Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is particularly irregular. Sometimes it comes only once every three months, while other times it comes twice a month. The amount is also irregular, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. It should be some kind of health issue in my body. Online doctors said it might be a damp-heat type of menstrual irregularity. So, what are the symptoms of damp-heat type menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual irregularity you mentioned, known as the damp-heat type, refers to menstrual disorders caused by the body's damp-heat condition. Damp-heat in the body can manifest in various symptoms, such as frequent bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, excessive facial oiliness, easy occurrence of acne, fatigue and weakness. It may also lead to symptoms like sticky stools, constipation, and increased leukorrhea with yellow discharge in women. These conditions can easily result in menstrual irregularity. For treatment, methods to clear damp-heat and activate blood circulation to unblock meridians are recommended.
