Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they've been getting more and more irregular. The timing, flow, and color are all off. Could it be that I'm getting some kind of illness? Please ask: How to treat menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, in general, a menstrual cycle lasting within one week is considered normal. A reduced menstrual flow may be related to endocrine issues, and further examination of hormone levels is necessary to make a determination. Additionally, during the treatment for menstrual irregularities, the patient's dietary condition and care are also important. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. Thank you.
