Patient's question:
Hello. My menstrual cycle used to be normal, but for the past two years, my period has been lighter, and in the last two months, it has become even shorter, lasting only about a day. Western medicine says it's nothing, but Chinese medicine has different opinions. Some say it's due to qi and blood deficiency and need to regulate qi and blood. Others say it's caused by poor spleen and kidney health, leading to a lack of yang energy, and suggest regulating the spleen and kidney. I don't know what Chinese medicine I should take. I don't understand what's really going on. Sometimes I feel weak, as if I'm sweating cold sweat, and occasionally have lower back pain and a feeling of stiffness in my back. Last year, I had a period where my hands and feet were cold for a while.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be caused by endocrine disorders, uterine fibroids, gynecological inflammation, etc., leading to menstrual abnormalities. It is recommended to go to the hospital for ultrasound, sex hormone six tests, etc., to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Pay attention to avoiding mental stress and maintaining a light diet. Keep the external genital hygiene to prevent infection.
