Patient's question:
I am 46 years old. I did not have my period in October and November last year, had a little in December, and have not had one since. I had an abdominal ultrasound and reproductive hormone tests. The uterus size is 37mm×30mm×37mm, with a double-layer endometrium of about 8mm. The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is 96.8, Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is 32.4, Estradiol is <10.0, Prolactin is 13.0, Progesterone is 0.4, and Testosterone is 0.8. Before these tests, I had taken two months of cooling and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine, and the last patch of medicine contained 15 grams of Angelica sinensis. I am wondering if this might affect the test results.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can cause menstrual disorders, common ones include abnormal ovarian function, uterine diseases, cavity diseases, endocrine dysfunction, gynecological inflammation, emotional fluctuations, drug effects, environmental changes, excessive fatigue, and excessive mental stress, etc. It is recommended that you first rule out external factors affecting your menstruation, and then wait for a while to see if the condition improves. In daily life, maintain a regular routine, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, especially avoid cold and dampness during your period. Avoid extreme dieting and pay attention to your dietary structure. Consume more lean meat, grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and calcium-rich foods. Avoid overeating cold and raw foods. Maintain a cheerful mood. Strengthen exercise to improve your physical fitness. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a re-examination of your endocrine hormones!
