Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has always been very regular, and I haven't experienced much pain during periods again. However, recently, I noticed that my periods have become infrequent—sometimes once a year, sometimes every two months. Sometimes, when I do have my period, it's still very painful. Hello, what should I do if my menstrual cycle is irregular and sometimes accompanied by menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
The normal menstrual cycle of a woman should be around 28 days. Being influenced by external environmental factors, it is considered normal if it is advanced or delayed by up to one week. Therefore, if your menstrual cycle is between 21 days and 35 days, there is no significant problem. However, if it is shorter than this, it may indicate menstrual irregularity and may require regulation. If you experience symptoms of dysmenorrhea, you can consume some motherwort granules during your menstrual period. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care.
