What are the symptoms of luteal phase defect?

Patient's question:

Luteal phase defect leads to weight gain in the body and irregular menstruation

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cases like luteal phase deficiency often also lead to menstrual irregularities. In terms of treatment, it is possible to combine some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) methods for syndrome differentiation and treatment regulation. Additionally, Western medicine hormone-based drugs can be used as supplementary treatment.
Medical advice: Clinically, exogenous hormone replacement therapy can be combined with TCM for syndrome differentiation and treatment. TCM has certain characteristics and advantages in the field of gynecology, and it often has minimal or no side effects. Different treatment methods should be adopted based on different constitutions and etiologies, guiding the body's natural tendencies to achieve the goals of adjusting the menstrual cycle and restoring ovulation. It is recommended to consult a formal TCM practitioner!
