Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if not having a period for two months after getting an IUD inserted means menopause?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency-cold amenorrhea or delayed menstruation caused by blood deficiency and insufficient nourishment. The deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians leads to emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation. Combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate, which triggers amenorrhea. The prescription should include Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; safflower, ligusticum, curcuma, and safflower to activate blood circulation. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menopausal syndrome not only affects the patient's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
