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. How can I determine the dangerous period if my menstrual cycle is irregular?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disorder. It is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding amounts, or by 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. It cannot be completely ruled out that pregnancy is possible. Generally, a delay of about one week in menstruation is normal. If the menstrual period is delayed by 7 days, you can use a pregnancy test kit to check for pregnancy. It is recommended that you continue to monitor your menstrual cycle, relax appropriately, and not be too anxious.
