Patient's question:
I had an abortion last October, and since then, my menstruation hasn't come. Previously, when I had my period, I only experienced lower back pain, breast tenderness, leg pain, and stomach pain, which would pass after a few days. Now, I'm in constant pain all over my body, with weakness in my limbs, chills, dizziness, headaches, toothache, tongue pain, stomach pain, a burning sensation during urination, lower back pain, leg pain, breast pain, shoulder and arm pain, and sharp abdominal pain during urination and defecation. I am currently being treated at the municipal hospital in Yong'an, Fujian.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual irregularities.It is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up and take medication based on the specific symptoms. In daily life, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and motherwort (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and engage in regular exercise.
Wishing you good health.
