Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for over ten days, and the flow is not much. Is it a symptom of menopause?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.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication as prescribed. In the meantime, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine herbs for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus cardiaca (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.
