Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and sensitive to cold. How can traditional Chinese medicine regulate irregular periods caused by an IUD?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation caused by an IUD varies from person to person. It may involve extended periods with spotting that lasts for more than ten days. Adjusting to the IUD also takes time, and it should improve within a few months. If severe reactions to the IUD persist and affect your daily life after six months, it may be necessary to remove the IUD and consider alternative contraception methods.Based on your description, the issue might be due to irregular menstruation. It is recommended to use progesterone and oral period-regulating granules for treatment. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
