Patient's question:
I stopped menstruating for two months and went to the doctor, who prescribed me ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets. But before I even started taking the medication, I had my period. My menstrual cycle has never been regular anyway; the color is quite dark, and sometimes it comes early while other times it's delayed.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 based on your symptoms. In your daily diet, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus cardiaca (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, reduce spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
