Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing recurring menstrual irregularities. Sometimes my period is delayed by two days, and other times it's delayed by three days. It's very irregular. Also, I don't want to get pregnant right now, as it would be difficult to raise a child. Is menstrual irregularity a sign of difficulty in getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Most women's menstrual cycles are around 30 days, with the menstrual period lasting 3 to 7 days. The onset of menstruation is primarily regulated by hormonal adjustments in the body, so there can be fluctuations. A normal menstrual period can be advanced or delayed by no more than one week, which is within the normal range of variation. As long as the menstrual period does not exceed 7 days, it is considered within the normal range. Adjust your diet and lifestyle, and pay close attention to observing your menstrual patterns. You can visit a hospital for a pre-pregnancy checkup. If the pre-pregnancy checkup is normal, you can actively prepare for pregnancy.
