Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods, sometimes experiencing stomach pain during my menstrual cycle. Should I be concerned about getting pregnant? It's quite distressing.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is primarily characterized by abnormal menstrual flow and cycle irregularity. Regardless of the cause, menstrual disorders can lead to infertility. The two primary conditions for conception are patent fallopian tubes and normal ovulation. Endocrine disorders, such as uterine bleeding, include menopausal and non-menopausal luteal phase defects and luteal hyperplasia. If not menopausal, it is difficult to conceive. Organic inflammation, such as uterine fibroids, can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg and interfere with conception, leading to miscarriage.
