Patient's question:
Medical history: I had a medication-induced abortion a few years ago.Current condition: My menstrual cycle has always been irregular. I used medication for the abortion several years ago, and since then, I haven’t been able to conceive. My periods have remained irregular, with clots and dark-colored blood. A few months ago, I took medication to regulate my cycle, and this month the blood was bright red, which made me very happy. However, the next month it returned to the same condition—my period completely stopped. I really don’t know what to do. I plan to get married next year, and after the wedding, I want to have a child. I hope you can help me.
Doctor's answer:
Your condition is irregular menstruation. Common causes include: cold exposure leading to uterine cold, which produces cold stagnation, thereby causing poor blood and Qi flow; this results in Qi stagnation and blood stasis. It is best to regulate with traditional Chinese medicine. You can take Lu Bao Zhai Lu Tai Gao, which can replenish Qi and blood, regulate menstruation, dispel cold, and is very effective for menstrual irregularity and dysmenorrhea caused by endocrine disorders, uterine cold, etc. In this case, you can take Motherwort and White Chicken and Phoenix Pill to regulate. Pay attention to blood-boosting in your daily diet and lifestyle. You can eat animal liver or other blood-boosting foods. It is recommended to drink jujube tea or goji berry tea. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. Wishing you good health.
