Patient's question:
Usually, I'm quite mindful in various aspects and also pay attention to hygiene. My teeth don't seem to be under much pressure, so how come I've experienced amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
1) Pay attention to health preservation. During menstruation and postpartum, the uterine cavity is open, making it easy for pathogens to invade. It is important to keep warm, avoid getting wet in the rain, wading in water, or being exposed to cold pathogens. Excessive cold can easily disrupt ovarian function, leading to amenorrhea.2) Maintain a cheerful and relaxed mood, reduce mental stress and negative stimuli to prevent the disorder of qi and blood, ensuring the normal onset of menstruation. Overcome fear and worries after illness to promote early recovery.
3) Balance rest and activity, appropriately enhance physical exercise and manual labor to strengthen the body, ensure the normal flow of qi and blood, and arrange work reasonably.
4) Actively treat certain chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, anemia, thyroid dysfunction, and parasitic diseases, to prevent the condition from progressing to amenorrhea.
5) Other measures, such as practicing family planning, reducing or avoiding miscarriage surgery, using oral contraceptives correctly, and not overextending breastfeeding, are all essential for preventing amenorrhea.
6) Pay attention to dietary nutrition, adjust eating habits, avoid pickiness or partiality, and consume more high-protein foods like eggs, milk, lean meat, fish, softshell turtle, oysters, shrimp, as well as vegetables and fruits to ensure adequate nutrient intake and enhance physical fitness. Focus on nutrient-rich foods that benefit the kidneys, spleen, qi, blood, and are easy to digest, such as doves, softshell turtle, mutton, chicken, pork liver, spinach, Tremella fuciformis, and jujubes. Avoid excessive consumption of cold or greasy foods to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach. Obese individuals should also control their diet, reduce sweet foods and high-fat foods, and adopt effective measures to achieve scientific weight loss.
