Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year, and I have been experiencing amenorrhea for two years. Some yellowish spots have appeared on my face. I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who said that it is caused by endocrine disorders in the body. At that time, they prescribed me some Chinese herbal medicine to regulate my body. After taking the medicine, my menstrual period returned. However, it didn't work after I stopped taking the medicine. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
You must receive timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to recurrent reproductive system growth and development issues, deformities, and complementary diseases, such as severe anemia and malnutrition. It can also increase hormone excretion in women, leading to decreased libido, and in severe cases, uterine atrophy, in addition to infertility. Timely treatment is necessary, and estrogen or progesterone therapy can be adopted. Rest well and avoid staying up late or being fatigued.
