Patient's question:
How to treat irregular menstruation? Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely cold-sensitive. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, also known as menstrual disorders, 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 caused by 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 ovaries secrete hormones that stimulate the endometrium. The secretion of hormones by the ovaries is controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus can affect menstruation.
