Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for six months. I went to Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for check-ups, and there were no major issues, just endocrine disorder. The doctor didn't prescribe much medication, but the check-ups alone cost over a thousand yuan. They only gave me some forced medication to take, and if I didn't take it, they wouldn't see me. I have hyperthyroidism, and it's currently well-controlled. I asked the doctor if it was caused by hyperthyroidism, and the doctor said no.Can my irregular period still be treated? I've lost confidence in going back to the hospital. It's just that when I go to the hospital, they only do tests and don't prescribe much medication, just some forced medication. I'm 37 years old now. Should I still seek treatment? Can it be cured? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, they are primarily indicative of amenorrhea, mainly due to the dysfunction of Chong and Ren meridians, where the source is cut off, leading to a lack of blood to descend. This is related to your deficiency of Qi and blood, blood stasis, and insufficient kidney essence. You can seek treatment based on syndrome differentiation and use Chinese medicine for regulation.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
