Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing insomnia and frequent dreams. Previously, my menstrual cycle was very irregular, sometimes occurring only once every few months. This time, it's been almost a year since my last period. I want to know about dietary therapies that can help restore menstruation completely.Doctor's answer:
Menstrual irregularity is a common gynecological symptom, and its clinical manifestation is menstrual stagnation. It is generally considered to be caused by uterine cold. It is recommended that you avoid cold during your menstrual period, do not eat raw food, and pay attention to preventing abdominal cold. The following are several medicinal treatments that can help restore menstruation:1. Poria (Fuling). Cut the poria into thin slices, take 5–10 grams, and boil it in water or steep it as tea. This method is suitable for menstrual irregularity caused by qi and blood deficiency.
2. Ejiao (Dried Donkey Hide). Select high-quality ejiao, place 1 gram in a large bowl, add two small spoons of yellow wine, and steam it until the ejiao is completely dissolved. Then add a small amount of brown sugar, wait for the sugar to melt, and drizzle a few drops of wine before serving.
3. Motherwort (Yimucao). Place 75 grams of motherwort, 6 dates, and 200 grams of lean meat in a pot.
