Patient's question:
I am a college student, female, only 38 years old. I am always worried about irregular menstruation affecting future fertility, and I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. Please ask: How should irregular menstruation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstruation is the periodic shedding and breaking of the endometrium, which occurs again due to the cyclical changes of the ovaries. The cycle is 21-35 days, and the menstrual period is 2-7 days. The normal menstrual flow is 20-60ml. If you have menstrual irregularities, you can check your hormone levels in the morning on the 2-4th day of your period on an empty stomach to understand the function of your ovaries, and undergo an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the endometrium, identify the cause, and provide symptomatic treatment. For gynecological patients, in addition to regular treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, I advise female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
