Patient's question:
I suddenly stopped menstruating at the age of thirty-eight. After taking two courses of traditional Chinese medicine, I had a few periods. From the age of forty until last April, I only had one period. Ultrasound examination showed no follicles. Luteinizing hormone level was 30.61 IU/L, and follicle-stimulating hormone level was 69.36 IU/L.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation can be caused by many factors, leading to various symptoms. It is essential to identify the underlying cause for targeted treatment. If there is a delay in menstruation, it is necessary to enhance immunity and take Xiaoyao Pills to regulate the menstrual cycle. If this is ineffective, it is advisable to visit a hospital to check hormone levels for further targeted treatment.The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
