Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old, with irregular menstruation. She has been having two periods a month for several months, sometimes having a normal period occasionally. She occasionally experiences itching in her lower body and has a foul-smelling discharge. How should she regulate her condition if she has no sexual experience?Doctor's answer:
The causes of menstrual irregularity may be due to disorders in the endocrine system. Based on your description, it is recommended that you have blood tests for the six major sex hormones between days 2-5 of your next menstrual period to check for normal levels. Then, follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment, while paying attention to maintaining vaginal hygiene, changing underwear frequently, and wearing loose cotton underwear as much as possible. Additionally, continue to monitor your condition closely. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to focus on self-care training, such as paying close attention to private hygiene, avoiding sexual activity during medication, maintaining cleanliness, refraining from intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
