Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. Previously, my menstrual cycle was always very regular, but about half a year ago, it started to become irregular, sometimes coming earlier and sometimes later, and the amount also decreased. Previously, I would never have abdominal pain during my period, but now I have severe pain every time, even to the point where I can't go to work. I want to ask what medicine should be taken for irregular periods and menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is caused by endocrine disorders. It is necessary to have a blood test for the six sex hormones at the 3rd to 5th day before the menstrual period. Based on the examination results, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine should be used for regulation. It is also important to pay attention to self-regulation in daily life, avoid overeating, maintain a regular diet, prevent staying up late, avoid excessive stress, and always keep a pleasant mood to prevent endocrine disorders.
