Patient's question:
Before, my menstrual cycle was always very normal, but recently I've been feeling lower abdominal pain, and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the menstrual cramps are severe. I ask: What should I do if my menstrual flow is light?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to help you clarify your doubts, and I hope it will be helpful to you. According to your description and the symptoms provided, the six sex hormone tests are normal, but the thyroid-stimulating hormone is elevated, indicating hypothyroidism, which can affect menstruation. It is recommended to take levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment. In addition, during the treatment for reduced menstrual flow, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of reduced menstrual flow.
