Is it better to see a traditional Chinese doctor or a western doctor for irregular menstruation?

Traditional Chinese medicine has always been the pride of our motherland. Unlike Western medicine, which uses various instruments to diagnose diseases, Chinese medicine generally understands the patient's condition through the pulse. Therefore, Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine in many aspects. Some women have irregular menstruation, and no matter how they change their diet or keep warm, there is no effect. At this time, they must see a doctor for adjustment. So, is it better to see Chinese medicine or Western medicine for irregular menstruation?

Is it better to see a traditional Chinese doctor or a western doctor for irregular menstruation?

You can go see a western doctor first. The first step is to see a gynecologist and let the doctor check whether the position of your uterus is normal. If you have not had sexual intercourse, ask your doctor to perform an anal examination. If you have had sexual intercourse, ask your doctor to perform a vaginal examination. The second step is to do a B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound can check the location, size, thickness of your uterus and ovaries, etc. It can also check whether you have a double uterus. B-ultrasound can be done in black and white or color.

If the examination still does not reveal any problems, you should be mentally prepared to see a Chinese doctor again. Generally, if you want to properly regulate your condition, seeing a Chinese doctor and taking Chinese medicine will take at least one month.
