Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Could you please tell me what types of irregular menstruation there are and what Chinese herbal medicines are used for each type?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally related to the liver, and treatment is usually based on the Siwu Decoction with modifications. An ultrasound can be performed on the 12th day of the menstrual cycle. The advantage is to have intercourse continuously with the presence of a dominant follicle until ovulation, which increases the chances of pregnancy. If intercourse is continued for three months without pregnancy, it is recommended to visit the hospital on the third day after menstruation to check the fallopian tubes to see if they are unobstructed.
