Patient's question:
I just got married to my wife not long ago. We got our marriage certificate three months ago, but since then, it seems like my wife hasn't been feeling well. Her menstrual cycle was usually very regular, but in the past three months, it has been quite irregular—sometimes delayed, sometimes early. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If your wife's menstrual cycle is consistently 3 to 7 days early or late, it is normal and there is no need to worry. However, if the cycle is either earlier or later than this range, it is abnormal, and you should visit a gynecologist for laboratory tests of six sex hormones and a color Doppler ultrasound to examine the condition of the endometrium. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, follow the doctor's guidance for medication and dietary adjustments. During menstruation, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to prevent catching a cold, and avoid consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods. Do not become overly anxious and actively cooperate with the treatment.
