Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, 1. Had an IUD for six years. Initially, her period lasted half a month, but later it became three days. The color of her period before and after was similar to that of a herbal decoction. The doctor said it was affected by the IUD. 2. She had the IUD removed. Now it has been four months, and her periods have been very light. Last month, she had bleeding for half a day, with many blood clots. This time, she only had blood when she went to the bathroom. Usually, she has almost none, and there is none at night.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically divided into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In your daily life, eat 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 Leonurus cardiaca (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
