Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 27 years old, with a history of menstrual irregularities. She has been experiencing hypomenorrhea (reduced menstrual flow) since last year. I started having breast hyperplasia last year, breast sagging, slight anemia, and cold hands and feet in winter. Will she experience menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically divided into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In your daily diet, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or traditional Chinese medicine herbs for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Danggui), astragalus (Huangqi), and motherwort (Yimucao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
