Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am twenty-one years old. Since my first menstrual period, it has been irregular with inaccurate timing. Each period lasts quite long, about a week or more, and the flow is also very heavy. Treatment History and Effect: At the age of fifteen, my menstruation lasted for more than a month without stopping, and the flow was very heavy. After taking Chinese medicine for regulation, it became almost normal, but the timing was still irregular. Last year, a similar situation occurred again. The doctor diagnosed it as anovulation during puberty and prescribed Yunnan Baiyao to stop bleeding and Ejiaocao to regulate menstruation. The condition improved, but the timing is still inaccurate. Moreover, I do not experience menstruation like other girls. Typically, a few days before my period, I have a coffee-colored discharge, followed by bright red blood.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your menstrual cycle is irregular, which is mostly caused by insufficient qi and blood in the body, qi deficiency, and blood deficiency. It is best to take traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, which can treat both the root and symptoms. In this case, you can take Dingkun Dan water pills, which have the functions of nourishing qi and blood and regulating menstruation and relieving depression. It is effective for menstrual irregularity caused by qi and blood deficiency and qi stagnation and blood stasis. During medication, we must avoid cold, greasy, and irritating foods. Moreover, maintaining a good lifestyle is essential: women should avoid staying up late, overexertion, and irregular living habits, as these issues can all lead to menstrual irregularity. Therefore, maintaining a good lifestyle is equally important.
