Patient's question:
My best friend told me that her menstrual cycle is always irregular. It always comes one or two weeks later every month, which is not normal. Moreover, she suffers from severe pain every time she has her period. So, she decided to consult a doctor to find out what causes menstrual irregularity and what she should do about it.Doctor's answer:
The normal menstrual cycle of a woman should be around 28 days. It can allow for a fluctuation of about one week due to external environmental influences. In other words, a woman's menstrual cycle within the range of 21 to 35 days is considered normal. If the menstrual period is delayed by about two weeks, this indicates menstrual irregularity, and it is necessary to have a hospital examination to check the hormonal levels in the body to see if they are normal. This is likely to be caused by abnormal hormonal levels or abnormal endometrial thickness. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to post-menstrual follow-up examinations in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
