Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but for the past three months, they haven't been on time. Last month, my period was 20 days late. After going to the hospital, I took Ba Zhen Granules and received three injections of Progesterone (Hormone Injection). My period came five days later, but then it came again after half a month (in very small amounts). It has been almost seven days now, and it is still coming (still in very small amounts).Should I go to the doctor now or wait until it stops before going to the hospital?
Additional information: Married for half a year, no children.
First follow-up question: Since I still have a small amount of bleeding, should I wait until it stops before going to the hospital, or should I go now?
Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low, and menstruation always occurs prematurely, which are all issues of menstrual irregularity. These are primarily caused by constitutional factors such as insufficient qi and blood and a cold body. Long-term regulation and improvement are needed. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine methods for improvement, especially acupuncture therapy, which has already achieved good results in clinical practice. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to daily regulation. Avoid consuming cold and irritating foods in your diet, and adjust your sleep schedule to maintain a regular routine. Also, maintain good personal hygiene to prevent the occurrence of other inflammatory conditions.
