Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, female. I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they have been getting more and more irregular. The timing, flow, and color are all off. Could it be that I have some kind of illness? Please ask: How should irregular periods be treated?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, as well as abdominal pain and systemic symptoms during the premenstrual period or menstrual period. There are many causes of irregular menstruation, including polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, endocrine disorders, psychological factors, excessive dieting, and overexertion. Irregular menstruation can affect childbirth. It is recommended to identify the specific cause and then adopt a scientific and targeted approach to regulation and treatment, which can yield good results. Daily routines should be regular, adequate measures should be taken to prevent colds, and a diet rich in light, soft, and liquid foods should be followed. Good ventilation and drinking plenty of hot water are also important to ensure that the condition does not recur.
