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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please advise on how to maintain the pregnancy if HCG and progesterone levels are low.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders can cause corresponding clinical manifestations. Both men and women can experience endocrine disorders. It is recommended to first check the six hormone levels. Although menstruation is a physiological process, the amount of menstrual flow, the presence of clots, and the color of the blood are related to the body's yin-yang and cold-heat balance. Excessive menstrual flow is a sign of deficiency; excessive clots indicate stagnation; dark blood color suggests internal heat, while light blood color indicates blood deficiency. The properties and flavors of food greatly affect menstrual flow. During menstruation, consuming too many sour foods can reduce menstrual flow, leading to irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the intake of sour foods like plums, lemons, plums, and vinegar to promote smooth menstrual flow. Excessive blood heat can cause the menstrual flow to become uncontrolled, resulting in excessive menstrual volume and bright red blood color. Over time, this can lead to anemia.
