What tests are needed for menstrual irregularity examination at the hospital?

Patient's question:

Over the past year and a half, my menstrual cycle has been quite irregular—sometimes it comes earlier, and sometimes it's delayed. I can't even predict when it will arrive anymore. I'd like to go to the hospital for a gynecological check-up.
What kind of help I need: I don't know what specific tests are usually done for irregular menstruation at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you first rule out external factors affecting your menstrual cycle. You can continue to observe for a longer period. In daily life, maintain a regular schedule, get plenty of rest, and avoid overexertion, especially during your period when you should avoid getting wet and stay dry. Avoid extreme dieting, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Pay attention to your dietary structure, consuming more lean meat, grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and calcium-rich foods. Avoid overeating extremely cold foods. Always maintain a calm mood. Strengthen your exercise to improve your physical fitness. If the symptoms remain unstable, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination to identify the cause and follow the doctor's advice for early, targeted treatment.
