Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I want to ask why my menstruation sometimes doesn't come for two or three months, and sometimes it's delayed by about 10 days. During menstruation, my abdomen hurts very much, there are blood clots, and the flow is heavy for the first two days. Before my period, my breasts get swollen and painful. What could be the cause of this? How can it be treated?Second follow-up question: I have seen many doctors, but there hasn't been much improvement. I also want to ask which Chinese medicine doctors are better. I am currently in Hangzhou. Thank you for your information.
Third follow-up question: I have been tested for endocrine issues at the hospital and was told that my prolactin level is high. Also, I always feel cold in my limbs.
Doctor's answer:
Considering endocrine imbalance, it is recommended to check the six hormone levels. It is advised to develop good dietary habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink more water to replenish the body's required moisture, participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen the physique, and ensure adequate sleep without staying up late. During the menstrual period, dark blood clots may be due to detached endometrium or prolonged blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. It is recommended that you drink brown sugar water or take Motherwort granules to promote the discharge of menstruation.
