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. Could you please tell me how to say the ovulation period when the menstrual cycle is 26 days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, the ovulation day is around the 14th day after the onset of menstruation. There may be some variations depending on the menstrual cycle, but the difference is not significant. You can use ovulation test strips to confirm it. Irregular menstruation can have many causes, and clinically, it is usually divided into two major categories: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual irregularity.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In the meantime, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Danggui), astragalus (Huangqi), and Leonurus japonicus (Yimucao). Drink plenty of water, reduce spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more. Wishing you good health.
