What are the reasons for an irregular menstrual cycle?

Patient's question:

My menstrual cycle is a bit chaotic. It comes twice a month, with each period lasting about a week. I've visited many hospitals—small, medium, and large ones, including county, city, and provincial hospitals. I even went to Xiangya Hospital in Changsha. The check-ups said it's due to endocrine disorder and cervical erosion of degree 2. I'm quite thin, and if I eat a lot for several days in a row, my stomach will bloat, and then two days later, my period will come. I had a D&C once, and it showed no problems. I've never been pregnant before, nor have I had a miscarriage. This situation has only started in the past three years.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. The causes may be organic lesions or functional disorders. Blood diseases, hypertension, liver disease, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, reproductive tract infections, and tumors can all cause menstrual disorders. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally related to the liver, and treatment is usually based on the Siwu Decoction as the foundation formula, with modifications.
