Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is it normal for a middle-aged woman's period to last 15 days?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, which are mainly characterized by prolonged menstruation, it falls under the category of deficiency heat. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin, reducing heat, and regulating the menstrual cycle. You can consider taking traditional Chinese medicine to help regulate your condition.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
