Patient's question:
I have irregular menstruation. My period lasts more than 10 days each month, and the flow is very heavy. I have anemia, am physically weak, and have a pale complexion. I have been treated, taken progesterone and Gongxuening, and consulted traditional Chinese medicine. After stopping the medication, my menstruation remains irregular. Now, it comes every time, and it lasts for about 10 days. I would like to ask what I should eat to regulate the discharge of blood.Doctor's answer:
According to the medical history, considering the possibility of perimenopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding and endocrine disorders, endometrial inflammation cannot be removed temporarily. It is recommended to perform a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to rule out organic uterine inflammation, conduct six hormone tests to understand the endocrine status, and perform a fractional curettage to remove adverse endometrial inflammation. After the surgery, you can take ethinyl estradiol to regulate menstruation, or use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.On a daily basis, you can eat more nourishing Yin and blood foods, such as lamb, goji berries, etc. For those with deficiency heat, it is best to choose a clear and nourishing diet, such as turtle, cuttlefish, turtle meat, yellow croaker, and tremella. The diet should avoid extremely cold fruits and spicy foods. Teenagers have high energy consumption due to their physical growth and development needs.
