Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What tests are needed for irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, irregular menstruation requires an endocrine examination to identify the cause. Generally, the six-item endocrine test for women involves serum extraction. It is recommended to undergo the test on the third day of the menstrual period.Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up, take medication as prescribed, and consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Danggui), astragalus (Huangqi), and motherwort (Yimucao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
