Patient's question:
I am 41 years old. My period started on November 26th and mostly ended by November 30th. On December 2nd, it had a recurrence with bright red blood and dark clots, but the amount was not significant. I have recently had a cold and took some cold medicine.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically divided into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication as prescribed. In your daily diet, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus japonicus (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
