Patient's question:
My daughter is 18 years old this year. When she first got her period, everything was normal. In the past two years, she has started to experience delayed menstruation and menstrual pain. She has taken some supplements, but it hasn't helped, so she wanted to ask you, doctor, what are the reasons for menstrual irregularities?Doctor's answer:
The normal menstrual cycle for women is between 21 days and 35 days. Menstrual irregularities refer to the recurrence of disrupted menstrual cycles or abnormal uterine bleeding, such as excessive or insufficient menstruation. Menstrual irregularities are generally considered to be caused by endocrine disorders. They may also be triggered by inflammatory infections or uterine fibroids. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a hormone panel test and a detailed ultrasound examination for diagnosis. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
