Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for a long time and have been taking Chinese medicine for regulation for over two and a half months. However, the situation has not improved, and the color of my menstrual blood has become darker. Detailed examination revealed that I have poor follicular development. Doctor, I would like to know how to treat this and what medication to take. What should I do if my menstruation is irregular and follicular development is delayed?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is generally considered normal if it is about one week earlier or later. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the recurring pain during menstruation that appears when a woman first starts her period during her growth and development. This condition often becomes more stable after marriage and childbirth. Secondary dysmenorrhea is recurring pain that occurs after reproductive system inflammation, and its symptoms vary depending on the cause. It is usually deeper in location and dull in nature. Common causes of secondary dysmenorrhea include:① Endometriosis.
② Uterine adenomyoma.
③ Cervical or uterine cavity adhesions.
④ Reproductive tract abnormalities.
⑤ Pelvic inflammation, etc.
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
