Patient's question:
Why do I have irregular periods? Is it really related to my usual diet and sleep schedule? If I have already started changing my diet and sleep schedule, will my periods return to normal on their own? What medications are available to treat irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
First, your menstrual irregularity—how is it irregular? Does it involve infrequent periods, excessively heavy bleeding, or something else? This is a very general question. Menstrual irregularity primarily refers to irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Third, visit a hospital for hormone testing between the third and fifth days to rule out diseases affecting menstruation, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. First, confirm whether there is a menstrual cycle. Eight to ten days before the expected period, have a progesterone test. If there are no organic diseases, birth control pills can be used to regulate menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used for menstrual regulation—consult a TCM practitioner. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene.
