Patient's question:
22-year-old female, irregular menstruation. Previously, her period came on March 22nd and lasted until the 27th. However, she hasn't had her period since then. What should she do for treatment? If she wants to undergo a thorough examination, which tests should she have?Doctor's answer:
The patient's last menstrual period started on March 22nd. Since her period has not arrived yet, what tests should be conducted for consultation?Well, if her period started on March 22nd and it's now April 17th, it hasn't even been a full month yet. If her period is usually delayed, you can take a fasting blood test for 6 hormone levels on the third or fourth day of her next period. Additionally, an ultrasound can be performed to check for any issues. She can also take traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. If her period is delayed, she can also take progesterone gel.
For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it's also important to pay attention to self-care during treatment. For example, during recovery, pay attention to hygiene and keep the private area clean. Finally, it's important to remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
