Patient's question:
A 16-year-old female has experienced an increase in leukorrhea a few weeks ago, which is thin and slightly more viscous than water. Previously, because her menstrual cycle was irregular, she hadn't had her period for several months, so she went to see a doctor. The doctor said it was a bit abnormal when she first came, but it would return to normal after she went back. Now, it has been almost a year, and it is still abnormal. She wants to ask what is going on?Doctor's answer:
When a girl enters puberty, she will experience menstruation. However, in the initial stages of menstruation, due to the body's growth and development not yet being mature, it is likely caused by unstable hormone levels, leading to irregular and chaotic symptoms. Temporary treatment is not recommended. Please pay close attention and carefully observe. Usually, as the body continues to grow and mature, these symptoms will gradually stabilize. It is recommended to pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, avoid staying up late, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, enhance physical fitness, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
