Is it useful to see Chinese medicine for irregular menstruation?

But it works. How to calculate irregular menstruation?

Judging whether menstruation is normal, generally through four elements:

Menstrual cycle: the interval between the first days of two adjacent menstruation, which is normally 2 1-35 days;

Regularity of menstrual cycle: the number of days in the cycle cannot be exactly the same. It is normal to fluctuate for a few days or less, and it is normal to fluctuate for no more than 7 days.

Menstrual period: the time when menstruation ends, 3-7 days is normal;

Menstruation: 5-80ml is normal. However, it is difficult to measure accurately in reality, generally based on whether anemia is caused or not, and compared with previous menstruation.

Any problem with any of the four elements is irregular menstruation, and some may have problems with several elements together.

Next, I will talk about the common reasons.

Clinically, patients with menstrual disorders need to exclude pregnancy-related diseases, including threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole and so on. Just do hcg test and B-ultrasound.

Because menstruation comes from endometrium, endometrial lesions can cause abnormal menstruation. Such as endometrial hyperplasia, polyp, submucosal myoma, intramural myoma affecting uterine cavity, diverticulum of cesarean section incision, adenomyosis and endometrial cancer. , can cause menorrhagia or menstrual period is too long; If the uterine cavity is adhered, it will cause less menstrual flow.

Estrogen and progesterone produced by ovary are important regulating factors of menstruation. Once there is a problem with the quantity and regularity of hormone production, it will affect menstruation. Common diseases include: polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, perimenopausal luteal insufficiency and so on. It may cause the menstrual cycle to be prolonged or changed, and the menstrual flow to be reduced or increased.

Ovarian hormones are also influenced by other glands, including pituitary gland, hypothalamus and thyroid gland. If the thyroid function is abnormal, hyperprolactinemia, excessive weight loss or exercise leads to central depression and other factors, it will cause menstrual changes, and most of them will lead to amenorrhea.

In addition, some bleeding lesions of cervix, vagina and vulva are also easily confused, which makes people misunderstand menstruation and need to be ruled out.

Of course, what needs to be emphasized here is that if there is an occasional menstrual abnormality once or twice and the examination is not pregnant, there is no need to continue the examination and treatment. If this happens often or for months, you need to check one by one.

Most of these can be diagnosed by corresponding hormone examination and Yin Chao examination. Only by finding the cause can further treatment and conditioning be carried out.

Treatment begins with drugs, endocrine diseases can be treated with hormones, and pathological diseases need surgical treatment. Specific problems are analyzed in detail and not explained one by one.

In short, if menstruation is abnormal for several months, you need to go to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment. I hope these are helpful to you.
