Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could soy isoflavones delay my period?Doctor's answer:
After taking soy isoflavones, the possibility of menstrual bleeding occurring earlier is relatively high, while delay should not be expected. It is recommended to undergo a six-hormone test to check the specific endocrine data and see how your current progesterone levels are. For treating menstrual irregularities, it is first necessary to conduct an ultrasound and a six-hormone test to identify the specific cause, then treat the underlying condition accordingly. Additionally, some Chinese herbal remedies for regulating menstruation can be appropriately supplemented. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during your menstrual period.
