Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:I got my period on the 8th of this month and it ended on the 13th. However, I got my period again on the 28th of this month. Could you please explain what's going on? I haven't taken any medication. My periods have always been quite regular in the past. Could this be related to eating too many hot and spicy foods? I had lamb during the Winter Solstice, and a few days ago, I ate pangolin stewed with cordyceps. Also, I haven't been sleeping well lately. Is that related? If this is just a one-time occurrence, does it count as an irregular period?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, your condition should be due to spleen qi deficiency, which fails to control the blood, leading to the symptom of early menstruation. For this condition, you can take some Chinese patent medicines to regulate your spleen and control the blood, such as Guipi Wan combined with Gongxuening Capsules. Persist in taking them for a period of time, and the effect will be significant.
