Patient's question:
In September 2017, after starting university, I began experiencing irregular periods. Currently, it has been 4 months since my last menstrual period. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Recurring symptoms are generally caused by endocrine disorders, which may be triggered by factors such as excessive stress, fear, changes in environment and climate, and malnutrition. It is recommended to undergo a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages to identify the underlying cause before proceeding with additional treatment and close monitoring. For the time being, avoid indiscriminate medication... For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for symptom relief, it is essential to prioritize self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
