What are the causes of abnormal menstruation?

Patient's question:

Taking medicine and getting injections at a small clinic at home. The symptoms started from the beginning of the menstrual period and occur every month, sometimes every two or three months, or even every four months. Often experience lower back pain and forgetfulness. Since last year, I have been waking up every night around 3 or 4 a.m. There is a lot of leukorrhea.

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.
Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires an ultrasound examination and testing for six sex hormones to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the underlying condition, supplemented appropriately with traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
