Patient's question:
22-year-old female, irregular menstruation. Previously, her period arrived on March 22nd and lasted until the 27th, but she hasn't had her period since then. What treatment should she follow? If she wants to undergo a thorough examination, which tests should she have done?Doctor's answer:
The patient's last menstrual period started on March 22nd. Since her period hasn't arrived yet, what tests should be conducted for consultation? If her period started on March 22nd, it's only April 17th now, which hasn't been a full month yet. If her period is usually delayed, you can have a fasting blood test for 6 hormone levels on the third or fourth day of her next period to check. Additionally, a color Doppler ultrasound can be performed to see if there are any issues. Chinese herbal 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's also important to pay attention to self-care, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it's important to remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
