Patient's question:
Over the past few months, I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is always irregular, and the flow is also light with very pale color. I don't know what to do about it. Could you please advise: How is irregular menstruation treated?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, also known as menstrual dysfunction, is a common gynecological condition. It is currently characterized by abnormalities in the menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, or by abdominal pain and systemic symptoms during the menstrual period or before menstruation. It may be due to organic inflammation or functional disorders.Abnormal emotions: Long-term mental stress, suppressing anger, or experiencing significant psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed after the ovary secretes hormones that stimulate the endometrium. The secretion of hormones by the ovary is controlled by hormones released by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovary, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect the menstrual cycle.
