Patient's question:
Medical Description: I often have my period earlier. My cycle has become 20 days in general. Is this normal? I experience breast swelling when it's early. A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said it's due to my blood being hot.History of Treatment and Effects: I have taken some traditional Chinese medicine, which had some effect during the medication period, but it returned to the same state after stopping the medication.

If a woman suffers from certain diseases, including local inflammation or tumors in the reproductive organs, intracranial disorders, endocrine dysfunction, or long-term medication use, it can easily lead to abnormal menstruation.
