Patient's question:
Every time I have my period, it's dark and very dry. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's due to blood heat. What kind of medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual irregularity.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In daily life, eat more foods that tonify qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus cardiaca (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.
