Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How should I treat irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency-cold amenorrhea or delayed menstruation caused by blood deficiency and insufficient nourishment. The deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians leads to emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation. Combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate, which triggers amenorrhea. The prescription should include Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; safflower, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Curcuma zedoaria, and Cyperus rotundus to activate blood circulation. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
