Patient's question:
Duration of the illness and its persistence: Nearly a yearDetailed condition and consultation purpose: Which Chinese herbal medicines can supplement estrogen without causing side effects;
In vegetables, besides soybeans containing estrogen, what else is easily digestible and absorbable?
First follow-up question: My symptoms are mainly reduced menstrual flow after an abortion, with the menstrual period coming 5 to 7 days earlier. I also have symptoms similar to a cold, such as headaches, body aches, and fatigue. Taking cold medicine can alleviate some of these symptoms. During the menstrual period, I experience lower abdominal pain radiating to the waist, which is relieved by resting in bed.
If the menstrual period is irregular and I want to have a baby, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Estrogen is the sex hormone secreted by the ovaries. Currently, the commonly used clinical preparations are fully synthetic non-steroidal drugs - ethinyl estradiol, also known as mestranol, which has estrogenic effects. There is also a partially synthetic estrogen - ethinyl estradiol, also known as ethinyl estradiol, which is currently mostly used in birth control pills. In clinical treatment of infertility, ethinyl estradiol is often selected. The dosage is to take 0.5-1 mg per night starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, and continue for 20-22 days. When female ovarian function is low and estrogen secretion is insufficient, ethinyl estradiol is often used as a replacement therapy. In addition, due to the effect of positive feedback, ethinyl estradiol can promote the peak of gonadotropin and promote ovulation. Therefore, it can be used for conditions such as underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics, small breasts, low estrogen secretion levels, decreased sexual function, uterine maldevelopment, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, etc. There is also dysfunctional uterine bleeding. When the bleeding volume is large, ethinyl estradiol can be used to stop bleeding. The dosage is: ethinyl estradiol is taken orally 1-2 mg each time, every 8 hours. When the bleeding volume is reduced by half, the dosage is reduced and a gradual tapering method is adopted, with a final maintenance dose of 1 mg taken once daily. The total duration of medication is 22 days from the start of reduced bleeding. Male sexual function hyperactivity and prostate lesions that easily cause sexual impulses can also use ethinyl estradiol, the purpose of which is to counteract androgens. The dosage is 1 mg per day, taken continuously for 20 days. The side effects of ethinyl estradiol include nausea and vomiting, which can be alleviated by taking vitamin B6 appropriately. When the dosage of ethinyl estradiol is increased
