Can I have a physical examination while taking traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

Since 2008, there have been periods that are short but only 2 to 4 days long. After that, the periods became shorter every year, often lasting only 1 to 2 days.
Symptoms: Pain in the abdomen or diarrhea occurs when menstruation starts. (The key issues are dysmenorrhea and excessively short periods.)
I visited a women's and children's hospital, and after taking medication for 3 months, the symptoms improved while on medication. However, once the medication was stopped, the symptoms returned.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering menstrual irregularity, it may be related to emotions, stress, medication, or endocrine disorders. You can take Wuji Baifeng Pills or Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. If necessary, you can undergo an endocrine panel test and receive hormone-based artificial cycle treatment. It is okay to have a physical examination recently, so there is no need to worry.
The occurrence of menstrual irregularity not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
