Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to consult a few questions about women's health. You're not breastfeeding, but your period came a week and three days early. Is this common? What should I do? If I leave it untreated, what serious consequences might it cause?Doctor's answer:
Premature menstruation one week early is not uncommon, and the duration of menstrual bleeding lasting 3 to 7 days is also normal. Therefore, your current situation does not necessarily indicate an abnormality. It could be a temporary endocrine imbalance. Currently, you can focus on careful observation to see how your future menstrual cycles are. If your menstruation completely returns to normal in the future, there won't be a problem. However, if your menstruation continues to become increasingly early and the bleeding volume decreases over a long period, further detailed examination of sex hormone excretion may be necessary.
