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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what causes breast tenderness during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this does not rule out the possibility of breast hyperplasia. It is generally caused by increased estrogen and decreased progesterone. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that breast hyperplasia is primarily due to emotional distress, impaired normal liver Qi flow, leading to Qi stagnation, blood stasis, and phlegm coagulation, as well as imbalanced Chong and Ren meridians. It is recommended to have a breast examination at the hospital.Additionally, after an ectopic pregnancy surgery, it is advised to wait three years before attempting normal pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is also considered early pregnancy, so a pregnancy test can be used three to seven days after a missed period. However, it is still recommended to have a blood hCG check at the hospital half a month after intercourse. Blood hCG tests over a period of time can help preliminarily determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.
