Patient's question:
I've been experiencing some irregular periods over the past two years. Each time, the menstrual flow is particularly heavy, the duration is quite long, and the periods are also delayed. I'd like to consult a gynecological expert about how to treat irregular periods and delayed menstruation. If anyone here has knowledge in this area, please help me find some answers.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, if a woman has delayed menstruation, the first thing to consider is the issue of endocrine hormones. Apart from that, it could be changes in ovarian function. If a woman has an unusually large amount of menstrual flow each time, it is necessary to consider the possibility of uterine fibroids. In addition to excessively thick endometrium, specific reasons can be identified through ultrasound of the uterine appendages and six sex hormone tests. For gynecological patients, in addition to receiving standard treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care. For example, during treatment, pay attention to hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the private area at all times. It is essential to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
