Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Four years ago, I experienced amenorrhea due to weight loss. The doctor said my uterus is small and my androgen levels are slightly high. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine and undergone artificial cycles. However, my menstruation still did not return after stopping the medication. The TCM practitioner said I have kidney yin deficiency. I would like to know what kind of traditional Chinese medicine can help regulate this?Duration of the current illness: 3 months
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be caused by a disorder in hormone secretion. The endometrium has lost the normal hormonal support, leading to the symptom of amenorrhea. Pay attention to dietary regulation and consume more warming Yang foods like chives. Regular consumption of chives can enhance the spleen and stomach Qi in the body. Additionally, garlic and scallions are excellent choices for nourishing the liver and maintaining Yang energy.Jujubes are neutral in nature and sweet in taste, nourishing the liver and strengthening the spleen. You can also eat foods like buckwheat, chrysanthemum greens, spinach, celery, daylily greens, lettuce, eggplant, water chestnuts, cucumbers, and mushrooms. These foods are all cool in nature and sweet in taste, helping to moisturize the liver and improve eyesight.
Taking tonifying foods like silver at the right time can moisten the lungs, generate fluids, nourish Yin, and benefit the liver. At the same time, reduce the intake of sour foods and increase the consumption of sweet-tasting foods to nourish both the liver and spleen, which greatly benefits disease prevention and health maintenance.
