Patient's question:
Before, my menstrual cycle was always normal, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the menstrual cramps are severe. I would like to ask: How should one diagnose and treat menstrual irregularities for better results?Doctor's answer:
The patient's last menstrual period started on March 22nd. If the period started on March 22nd, it's only April 17th now, and it hasn't been a full month yet. If the menstrual period is usually delayed, you can have a fasting blood test for 6 hormone tests on the third or the third day after the next period. At the same time, a color Doppler ultrasound can be done to check for any issues. Chinese medicine can be used for regulation, and if the period is delayed, progesterone capsules can also be taken. For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
