Patient's question:
I recently feel uncomfortable all over, with discomfort in the lower body, irregular menstruation, and it seems like I've gained a bit of weight. This has been making me feel quite down lately. I want to know if irregular menstruation can lead to lower body fat?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. If the menstrual cycle is irregular and has recurred, and you have also experienced lower body obesity, it is recommended to have your hormone levels tested. It is best to take blood samples on the third day of your menstrual period for analysis. This will make it easier to determine if the brown sugar water is effective in replenishing qi and blood, and if it has a certain stabilizing effect on the cycle. However, it cannot ultimately replace endocrine treatment. Your condition is likely caused by endocrine disorders.
