hi girls, lately my period very irregular. its like 2 months baru come. previously is ngam ngam come every month. any recommendation on this problem? please help

i also dunno c western doctor or chinese doctor is better

For western doctor, they play around with your hormones and will have side effects but for traditional chinese doctors (those who prescribe herbs for you to boil, NOT HERBAL PILLS), you will have to regularly visit them and the effect is slow but less harmful

Western medicine will most likely check if there is anything wrong with your uterus. If nothing is wrong, then hormone medicines will most likely be prescribed. And yes, these hormones usually have side effects and it varies for everyone.

If you have a regular gynae, go check with your gynae first. It's always good to get 2nd or 3rd opinions. Irregular menstrual cycle could be due to all sorts of things.

I would suggest u to google online for western n chinese treatment on this matter before deciding. If you happen to decide on traditional chinese medicine, i can help refer u to mine.

you can try eating shuang hor's yung kien pollen,it helps regulate menstrual cycle and ease mentrual pain and helps lots of women troubles. also use those herbal pads.

What do we have to expect if we go to a gynae? Just for a check up. I've never been to one before and I plan to go just for a check up. Want to know what I would be expecting when I go to a gynae > <

How old are you? What is it you wanna check?

Generally, the gynae will ask for your last menstrual cycle dates. Also if you are doing a normal routine check up, it would include ultrasound and pap smear. Ultrasound you just lay down and lift your shirt up to show your belly, gynae will just do some scans to make sure all healthy and okay. If you are sexually active, then you might want to go for pap smears. You can read more about pap smears here.

If you are going for irregular period, gynae might just ask you some questions and prescribe meds or do tests based on what your condition is.

I'm 20, and my menstrual cramps are really really bad. So I want to get that checked out and also sometimes my discharge is kinda weird so I want to know if there's anything wrong with me

Just wondering if they're gonna stick anything up there you know

How bad is bad? I know some girls get cramps until they cannot walk or move for the whole time they have their period. Best to just go see what the gynae have to say.

Weird discharge as in how? Discharge is normal and there is different types of discharge during different times of the month. If it does smells, greenish yellowish in color or it itches, then you will definitely need to see a gynae already.

For pap smears, yes, they will stick something up. A vagina swab to detect certain infections (if got abnormal discharge, etc.) will also need to stick a swab stick up there.

It's not to a point where I can't walk but there are times where I can't. However on the 3rd day, the pain would be quite sharp, and it's not numbing kind of pain. and a sort of 'blood clot' comes out. I've asked my friends, they say it's not normal and they don't get it.

Recently I noticed a sort of smell, and I'm not sure if they're supposed to smell that way, but no itches whatsoever.

I read the post. I'm a bit worried that they might stick that in me.

I guess I should go to a gynae and see how it goes.

Yea, definitely go check with a gynae.

Thank you for helping me out!

hi TS, they wont do a pap smears (put something into your "sister") if you are not married/ still virgin/ even at your age. pap smears is only recommended for woman that are married.

any girl that faces period pain is not normal and should seek for a doctor. This is because period cramp is a sign to warn you that you have weak ovary (cold inside). This cramp could lead to several side effect which include "unable/ difficult to conceive baby in the future", "miscarriage" and many more.

Yes, you definitely have to visit to a doctor to regulate your period. traditional doctor is recommended as it has lesser side effect compared to western medicine. The only con is that you have to visit them regularly and for a very long period. even after your period is regulated you might still need to visit them once in a month or few months for quite some years.

Hello, actually my period is regular, it usually comes on time. just that the cramps are unbearable.

Maybe I should seek a traditional doctor, I hate to take anymore drugs. Thank you!

yea, you should and you have to. period cramp is actually not normal. you should visit to the doctor as soon as possible.

Did u ate emergency pills before? tht pill will cause whacky hormones...
