Patient's question:
After giving birth to my second child, I had my period three months later. However, after four months, it became irregular. It's delayed by more than a week each month. What could be the reason? Is it serious?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 examination and testing for 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.
