Patient's question:
My daughter started experiencing menstrual cramps and irregular periods when she was in her teens. I want to take her to see a doctor. Is it better to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor for irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, if a patient experiences delayed menstruation again or the condition of delayed menstruation, it is highly likely due to a recurrence of endocrine disruption, which leads to this phenomenon. It is recommended that patients try to consume traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, as it has relatively fewer side effects on the body and takes effect quickly. It is advised that the patient's diet should be based on light foods, and attention should be paid to hygiene, with frequent changes of underwear.
