Patient's question:
Female, 25 years old, has noticed that her menstrual cycle has not been arriving on time these past few months, and the amount is also less, with very light color. Not sure what to do, please ask: How should irregular menstruation be treated?Doctor's answer:
A normal menstrual cycle is 28-30 days, and the duration of menstruation is 3-7 days. There are two major causes of menstrual disorders:1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction leading to endocrine imbalance: This is primarily due to instability or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
2. Organic inflammation or drug-induced causes: This includes local inflammation, tumors, abnormal growth and development, and other endocrine imbalances. Since the underlying causes vary, the treatment methods also differ. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for further examination to clarify the diagnosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
