Patient's question:
What is the cause of menstrual leucorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Functional Dysmenorrhea, also known as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), is an abnormal uterine bleeding caused by disorders in the neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate reproduction.DUB falls under the category of "sheng lou" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is associated with conditions such as weakness of the liver and kidneys, spleen deficiency with qi deficiency, qi stagnation, and blood stasis in TCM.
Under the guidance of a doctor, hormone drugs can be used, and some traditional Chinese medicine formulations can be taken concurrently. For example, Qianjin Pharmaceutical's Women's Duanhong Yin Capsules (prescription drug, use under the guidance of a doctor) have the functions of cooling blood, resolving blood stasis, and stopping bleeding.
Maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and avoid spicy, cold, and irritating foods. If the medication is not effective, consider undergoing a Dilation and Curettage (D&C).
