Patient's question:
The girl is 11 years old, and it has been 8 days since her first menstrual period. Is it normal? What should she do?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically divided into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual irregularities.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication as prescribed. In your daily diet, consume 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 motherwort (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
