Patient's question:
Since my first period, my menstruation has never been very regular, manifested as: shortened cycle length and mild menstrual cramps. However, the amount and color of my menstruation have been relatively normal. Since my son got sick around 2009, I have been overly concerned and exhausted, and my menstruation has never returned to normal. Every time it's time, there's only a little—just enough for half a pad—dark in color, and it disappears within one or two days.Additionally: I gave birth to my son via cesarean section in May 2007, had an IUD inserted in August 2008, and since living with my ex-husband in October 2009, I have had no sexual activity. I had the IUD removed in February of this year.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. Generally speaking, it is normal for a woman's menstrual cycle to be 3-7 days early or late, as the menstrual cycle can be affected by various factors such as the environment, climate, and emotions. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than one week and pregnancy is ruled out, there may be a possibility of endocrine disorders. It is recommended to consult a doctor for blood tests to conduct a thorough endocrine examination. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
