Patient's question:
Often have irregular menstruation, have been treated with both Chinese 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 the menstrual period, and the blood is dark and dirty. During menstruation, there are sometimes heavy peeling and large blood clots. A year ago, a color ultrasound of the uterus showed a small cyst, and the doctor said it was not a big deal. Until now, no follow-up examination has been done. 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 levels of sex hormones in your body. Consider 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 receive targeted treatment. It is also advised to avoid excessive stress, get adequate rest, not overexert yourself, avoid staying up late, maintain a relaxed mindset, and establish a good routine of sleep and diet.
