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?Question: What causes a decrease in menstrual flow due to a severe cold?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this issue for you. Based on your description, since today is exactly the 22nd and February only has 28 days, it is normal for your period to be a bit delayed. Additionally, did you have any sexual intercourse this month? If you did, you could also take a morning urine test to check for pregnancy.There are many treatments for a light menstrual flow, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
