Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. In the first month, my period came after 45 days. In the second month, it came after 26 days. This month, it only took 21 days.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation requires identifying the underlying cause. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a regular hospital to check for any abnormalities in the endometrium and ovaries. Based on the thorough examination results, symptomatic treatment can be provided, or further tests such as the six sex hormone tests may be conducted to confirm the diagnosis. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care measures, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
