Patient's question:
I used to have normal menstruation with heavy flow. Two years ago, I had an abortion at a women's and children's hospital. During that time, my period didn't come for one month. I went to a clinic and received three days of injections, after which my period returned, and it was normal again. However, last December, my period didn't come again. A month later, I went to the clinic, and the doctor prescribed medication for three days. After stopping the medication for four days, my period arrived, but it lasted only five days. Since then, it hasn't come again for two months, and it hasn't arrived this month either. The hospital has advised me to wait a few days before getting hormone tests, and I have also been taking traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the clinic. I don't know what the problem could be. I hope the doctor can help me.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires an ultrasound and a check of six sex hormones to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the primary condition, with appropriate use of Chinese herbal medicine to regulate menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
