Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What causes breast pain before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation refers to a syndrome characterized by impaired liver's function of dispersal and regulation, where insufficient dispersal leads to qi stagnation. It is also known as liver qi depression syndrome or simply liver depression syndrome. You may consider using Chai Hu Shu Gan San (Chai Hu Decoction for Relieving Liver Qi Stagnation) with modifications, and intramuscular injection of progesterone may be necessary. If the effect is not satisfactory, consider undergoing a hormone panel test and an ultrasound examination. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods, as well as other stimulating foods.
