Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but for the past three months, they haven't been on time. Last month, my period was delayed by twenty days. After going to the hospital, I took Ba Zhen Granules and received three injections of Progesterone (a total of three shots). Five days later, my period came. However, after half a month, it came again (in very small amounts), and now it has been almost seven days, and it is still coming (still in very small amounts).Should I go to the doctor now or wait until it stops before going to the hospital?
Additional information: Married for half a year, no children. First follow-up question: Since I still have a small amount of bleeding, should I wait until it stops before going to the hospital, or should I go now?
Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low, and menstruation always occurs prematurely, which are all issues of menstrual irregularity. These are primarily caused by constitutional factors such as insufficient qi and blood and a cold body. Long-term regulation and improvement are needed. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine methods to improve the condition, especially acupuncture therapy, which has already achieved good results in clinical practice. Additionally, attention should be paid to daily regulation. Avoid consuming raw, cold, or irritating foods in your diet, and adjust your sleep schedule to maintain a regular routine. Also, maintain good personal hygiene to prevent the occurrence of other inflammatory conditions.
