Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old; after a ectopic pregnancy surgery 2 years ago, her menstrual flow has been very light. In the past 6 months, her period lasts only for one day, and she is very afraid of amenorrhea.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication as prescribed. In the meantime, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine herbs for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus cardiaca (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, reduce intake of spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
