Traditional Chinese medicine has significant effects in treating irregular menstruation

Irregular menstruation can cause infertility and must be regulated early. If it is caused by blood heat, pay attention to clearing heat and cooling blood. If it is caused by yin deficiency, you can nourish yin and clear heat. If it is caused by qi deficiency, you can replenish qi and blood. Irregular menstruation caused by kidney deficiency requires kidney tonification.

Warm reminder: If it is convenient, you can have a blood test for sex hormone levels between 9:00-11:00 in the morning on an empty stomach on the third day of your period. If the result is normal, you can check whether your thyroid hormone level is normal. If you must use Chinese medicine for adjustment, it is recommended that you choose the Fuliangfang Temperature Regulating Patch.
