Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can cysts cause irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is related to lifestyle, work stress, emotional factors, etc. Long-term irregular menstruation can lead to organic lesions such as ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. Ovarian cysts can, in turn, affect menstruation. If the largest cyst is no more than 4 cm, traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can generally restore normalcy within about 3 months.The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
