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 my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Why do I get my period when I eat red dates but not when I don't?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to a deficiency of yang and cold closure of menstruation or delayed menstruation caused by cold deficiency. Insufficient nourishment due to blood deficiency, deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians, leads to emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation. Combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, the lack of power to circulate results in menstrual closure. It is recommended to use Wenzheng Granules for treatment. Based on the information you provided, the main symptoms include excessive menstrual flow, hypomenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycles, oligomenorrhea, polymenorrhea, irregular menstruation, and mid-cycle bleeding.
