Does anger cause irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Does getting angry cause irregular periods?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally related to the liver, and treatment is usually based on the Siwu Decoction with modifications. The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary regulation should be paid attention to, with a focus on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should be avoided.
