Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for more than six months. In May, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that my endometrium was thick, so they gave me an injection of progesterone, but the amount was very small and it only lasted for two days. During a follow-up visit, they said my endometrium was even thicker than before and recommended I have a D&C. I've never had a miscarriage, so I didn't do it. Last month, I went to the maternity hospital for an ultrasound and was told my endometrium was 15mm thick with a small 9x4mm fluid area. The doctor didn't know what it was and tested me for pregnancy, which was negative. They prescribed me five days of progesterone pills and postpartum recovery capsules. After finishing them, I still haven't had my period. I haven't gone back to the hospital yet, but I feel the doctors there are unreliable now. I want to see an old Chinese medicine practitioner, but I'm afraid of becoming dependent on traditional Chinese medicine. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: This situation should be considered as a decrease in estrogen levels. Suggestions: It is recommended to check a sex hormone to clarify the diagnosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment can be used. TCM treatment involves tonifying the kidneys and promoting blood circulation to remove stasis. TCM treatment does not have dependency.
