How to treat early menstrual periods

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: Menstruation is 3 to 5 days early, what to eat
History of Treatment and Effect: Menstruation is 3 to 5 days early, what to eat
Expected Help: Menstruation is 3 to 5 days early, what to eat

Doctor's answer:

A normal menstrual cycle is about 28 days. If menstruation occurs more than seven days earlier each time, or if it happens twice a month, it is considered menstrual irregularity. If it only advances by three to five days without other obvious symptoms, it falls within the normal range.
Dietary considerations: During menstruation, avoid cold and spicy foods. Additionally, focus on a balanced diet, maintain a regular lifestyle, and pay attention to menstrual hygiene.
Your condition falls under menstrual irregularity, which is not normal. It may indicate an issue with the endocrine system. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
