What should I do about my irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have irregular menstruation. After taking traditional Chinese medicine last month, from the 23rd to today, it has been 18 days, and I have only had a few spots of blood. On the 2nd, it was clean for one day, and on the 3rd, the color of the spots was slightly darker and a bit more. But today, on the 10th, the bleeding has increased over the past two days. There was a small thread of blood on the sanitary pad, but it was still very minimal. This is the first time I have had such little menstruation. In November last year, during ovulation bleeding, I had a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed uneven echoes in the endometrium and cervical cysts. Everything else was normal.
Hello, I am now carefully observing how many days it will last? Should I see a doctor immediately?

Doctor's answer:

According to what you described, your menstrual cycle is irregular, and the effect of taking traditional Chinese medicine has not been satisfactory. There are many factors that can lead to menstrual irregularities, such as lack of deep sleep, living under pressure, mental tension, and environmental factors. It is recommended that you develop good living habits and see how stable they are. If it does not improve, it is suggested that you go to the hospital for a six-item sex hormone test on the 2 to 3 days of your period to rule out abnormalities. Gynecological diseases are a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to the hygiene of the vulva, with a light diet as the foundation.
