Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods for a while and need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. My friend said it might involve a urine test. I want to know if a urine test is necessary for irregular periods.Doctor's answer:
Hello. There are many different reasons that can cause menstrual disorders, such as organic diseases, changes in psychological and environmental factors, and endocrine disorders. Blood tests are mainly used for detailed examinations of endocrine hormones to identify how endocrine factors contribute to menstrual disorders. Once the specific cause is found, timely symptomatic treatment can be administered. Wishing you good health.For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, 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 undergo regular follow-up examinations.
