Patient's question:
Often have irregular menstruation, have tried both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but the effects only last for a short period of time, and then it returns to being abnormal. There is often blood discharge, with less bleeding outside of menstruation, and the blood is dark and dirty. During menstruation, there are sometimes heavy peeling and large blood clots. A year ago, a color ultrasound revealed a small cyst in the uterus, and the doctor said it was no big deal. I haven't had a follow-up check-up yet. There are suggestions to do endocrine tests or sex hormone tests, but I don't know where to start.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a woman's menstrual cycle is regulated by the levels of sex hormones in her body. In your case, it is possible that there is a disruption in the hormonal balance within your body. It is considered that the menstrual irregularity may be caused by endocrine disorders. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to undergo a thorough examination of the six sex hormones to determine which hormone level is abnormal, and then receive targeted treatment. It is advised that you avoid excessive stress, get adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and do not stay up late. Maintain a relaxed mindset and develop good habits in terms of sleep and diet.
