Patient's question:
Irregular menstrual cycle, can medication regulate it, such as Fertility Revitalizing Pills, White Chicken and White Phoenix Pills, etc.?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is okay to eat, but it is best to first visit a hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the menstrual disorder so that appropriate treatment can be administered. At the same time, the following should be noted:1. Maintain a positive mood and avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during menstruation, all of which are normal and should not cause excessive anxiety.
2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Keep the external genital area clean. Sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during menstruation. Ensure warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, and have good ventilation. Wash and change underwear frequently, and dry the washed underwear in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Those with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation and avoid foods that stimulate fire, such as scallions, garlic, chives, and ginger. Those with qi and blood deficiency should increase their nutritional intake regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
