Patient's question:
I am a 22-year-old girl, currently pursuing my postgraduate studies at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I have noticed that my luteal phase is somewhat short, perhaps only around 10 days. Could anyone explain what might be causing this? Are there any effective treatments available?Doctor's answer:
You have luteal phase deficiency. Western medicine treatment primarily focuses on progesterone supplementation. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is divided into insufficient kidney yin, kidney yang deficiency, and liver channel heat. A face-to-face four-diagnosis is necessary, and it is best to take decoctions.There are many triggers that can cause luteal dysfunction, and patients need timely treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable hospital for your condition. Pay attention to the progression of your illness and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, it is essential to develop healthy lifestyle habits and maintain personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery!
