Patient's question:
Previously, I had irregular periods, which gradually stopped. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have small uteruses and premature ovarian failure. Later, medication was prescribed, and my periods returned when I took the medicine but stopped when I didn't. Now, it has been three years since my last period. Can I undergo in vitro fertilization? Is there any way to improve this condition? How long does it take for Poria to take effect when used to treat irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is normal for menstruation to be one week early or late. The causes of menstrual irregularities include nervous endocrine dysfunction, gynecological diseases, excessive mental stress, malnutrition, poor lifestyle habits, extreme dieting, smoking and alcohol addiction, abnormal emotions, high pressure, and medication side effects. It is recommended to consult a doctor at a top-tier hospital, pay attention to hygiene, prevent infections, and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. During menstruation, sexual intercourse should be absolutely avoided. Also, avoid cold exposure and overexertion. Women with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
