Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am 42 years old this year. A year ago, I had an induced abortion and then had an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. After the IUD insertion, I have experienced light reddish-brown discharge for about five to six days before menstruation, followed by a larger amount of menstrual blood.History of Treatment and Effect: I have previously sought medical treatment at a hospital. The doctor prescribed progesterone tablets, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Help Needed: Could you please explain the possible cause and suggest a treatment plan?
Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation may manifest as delayed cycles, reduced menstrual flow, dark red blood, lower abdominal pain, and a feeling of coldness in the body. Such patients should take Aifù Nuǎngōng Wán (AI Fu Warm Palace Pill), Bāzhēn Yìmǔ Wán (Eight Treasure Motherwort Pill), Jiùkǔ Jīndān (Relief of Suffering Golden Pill), Jiāwèi Xiāoyáo Wán (Modified Xiao Yao Pill), Qīzhì Xiāngfù Wán (Seven Preparations of Angelica Sinensis Pill), and Déshēng Dān (De Sheng Pill) and other medications.Take 2 times daily, with 1-2 pills per dose. These medications are effective in alleviating lower abdominal pain, varying menstrual color, and improving irregular menstruation.
If a woman frequently experiences breast pain, menstrual congestion, bloating on both sides, and lower abdominal pain during her period, she should take the following medications: Tōngjīng Gānlù Wán (Promote Menstruation Sweet Dew Pill), Jīnkuì Shènqì Wán (Golden Cabinet Shen Qi Pill), Lùjiǎo Jiāo Wán (Deer Horn Glue Pill). These medications should be taken 2 times daily, with 1 pill per dose.
These drugs are highly effective for patients with reduced menstrual volume, pale color, thin consistency, dizziness, head fullness, lower back and waist pain before and after menstruation. Medication plays a significant role in treating irregular menstruation.
