Patient's question:
My daughter is fourteen years old this year. After her first menstrual period this February, she has had two menstrual periods in January. Each time she menstruates, it lasts for seven or eight days, and after it cleans up, she comes again after twelve or thirteen days.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual disorders.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 for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus japonicus (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.
