Patient's question:
My daughter is already 19 years old. She started her menstrual cycle four years ago. At first, it was quite normal, lasting about 5 days. But recently, my daughter has experienced irregular periods. The dates are very erratic, and the flow is very light, with the duration lasting about 7 to 8 days.Hello, what should I do about irregular periods, light flow, and prolonged duration?
Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, with less menstrual flow and a longer duration, may be related to endocrine disorders. It is necessary to have a thorough medical examination. This could be caused by insufficient estrogen excretion. During menstruation, avoid consuming extremely cold or irritating foods. You can drink brown sugar water to promote the flow of menstrual blood. Alternatively, it is recommended to take some regulating medications under the guidance of a doctor to enhance the flow of menstrual blood and carefully observe the condition. Pay attention to the menstrual period and avoid getting cold. Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and change their underwear frequently.
