Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation can be affected by environmental, dietary, and endocrine factors. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a spontaneous disease of the ovaries that can lead to irregular menstruation. Long-term irregular menstruation can also interfere with ovarian function, so it is recommended that you seek medical attention early for a thorough examination to avoid the occurrence of other diseases. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from illness.
