Patient's question:
17 years old, experiencing irregular menstruation for two or three years. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and Chinese patent medicine, but none of them have been effective. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the ultrasound revealed that my uterus is only half the size of a normal one. My periods are about two and a half months apart. Once, I had a period of less than a month, lasting three days, with black blood. I went to the hospital for a detailed check-up of the six sex hormones, and the only abnormal result was low progesterone. I am wondering if it could be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I have hirsutism, with a particularly long hair on my abdomen, but I am not sure if it is indeed this condition. Let's assume this as a premise. I would like the doctor to consider whether it could be this disease?Doctor's answer:
At 17, menstruation was not yet stable, so it may not necessarily be polycystic ovary syndrome. Menstruation will gradually become regular. It will be necessary to wait until after the age of 18.For gynecological patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to prioritize self-care training. For example, pay close attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, maintain cleanliness, refrain from sexual intercourse, and consume fewer spicy and irritating foods.
