Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Previously, my menstrual flow was very regular because my body was very consistent. However, this week, my period has already started, but I feel that the amount is particularly small, and the menstrual cycle is too frequent. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation being one week early or late is considered normal. When you notice irregular menstruation, the first thing to do is to relax your mind and avoid stress. Pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle in your daily habits, follow a regular schedule, avoid overexertion and staying up late, and ensure adequate rest with sufficient deep sleep. Pay attention to a balanced and light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and prevent catching a cold. Be mindful of staying warm. If necessary, consult a doctor for medication to target the condition for proper care. For gynecological patients, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to prioritize self-care. This includes maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and consuming fewer spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
