Patient's question:
My period hasn't come for two and a half months. The last time it came was at the end of December. It didn't come in November. It came twice in October, once at the beginning of the month and once at the end. The time at the end of the month was particularly heavy, lasting about ten days, and the amount was also quite large. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the detailed ultrasound examination results suggest a possibility of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition involves endocrine disorders and can easily lead to menstrual irregularities. It is recommended to take progesterone to induce menstruation for treatment. From the second to the fifth day of the menstrual cycle, blood tests for the six major sex hormones should be conducted at the hospital to diagnose whether PCOS is present. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to 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.
