Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation should be thoroughly examined, and it may be Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Medication was taken for six months, followed by a three-month break. Now, in the third month, it hasn't arrived. Yesterday, a six-item check-up was done, and the doctor said it was normal, recommending going to a large hospital for an endocrine check-up. This morning, when using the restroom, there was a bit of blood. Can an endocrine check-up still be done in this condition?Doctor's answer:
It should be time for your period. It is recommended to pay close attention and observe carefully. If your period starts, it is advised to have a blood test for the six major sex hormones between the second and fifth day of your period. For gynecological patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to prioritize self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
