Patient's question:
I just turned 30 this year, and my menstrual cycle has already started to become irregular. I'm not even close to the age of menopause, yet my period keeps delaying, sometimes only coming once every two months. Additionally, I sometimes notice that my feet are a bit swollen. What's going wrong with my body? How can I treat irregular menstruation and edema?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation should be related to factors such as advanced age, frequent staying up late, excessive stress, or it may be caused by some disease in the body. However, if your feet are slightly swollen, it could be due to a disease that suppresses blood vessels, leading to edema. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, as it is not advisable to rely solely on visual judgment to diagnose the disease. You can also use hot water to soak your feet to alleviate the swelling and pay more attention to personal hygiene. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely threatens women's health. Patients should pay attention to post-menstrual follow-up examinations in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
