Patient's question:
I am a 29-year-old woman. After getting sick, taking medicine did not help much, and I still feel uncomfortable. Please ask: Why does irregular menstruation cause the period to become longer?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, such as environmental factors, nutritional factors, disruptions in hormone levels within the body, and the use of hormone-containing medications. In addition to poor lifestyle habits, irregular sleep patterns, and working late at night, these may also lead to menstrual disorders. It is recommended to undergo a thorough check-up for the six hormone tests in the endocrinology department of a regular hospital to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the results, treatment should be tailored accordingly. During the menstrual period, it is important to prevent cold and keep warm, avoiding activities such as getting caught in the rain, mountain climbing, ice skating, and drinking cold drinks, especially to prevent the lower body from getting cold.
