Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods since I started menstruating at the age of 14, and my mother has the same issue. After an ultrasound examination, it was found that my uterus is well-developed. Recently, my periods have frequently been delayed, usually occurring every three months. I took Chinese medicine for over a month, which improved things for a while, but now it has returned to its original state. I have been married for over a year and have not taken any birth control pills, always insisting that my partner use contraception. Now, five months after stopping contraception, I am still not pregnant, and my periods are still delayed, with blood clots in the middle of the cycle. Should I be considered infertile? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular routine, pay attention to rest, and avoid overexertion, especially during menstruation, to prevent cold and dampness. Avoid excessive dieting, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Pay attention to your dietary structure, consuming more lean meat, grains, dark green vegetables, and calcium-rich foods. Avoid overeating cold and raw foods. Maintain a cheerful mood, strengthen exercise, and improve physical fitness. If symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and follow medical advice for early, targeted treatment.
