Patient's question:
Usually, my menstruation has always been irregular, either coming too early or too late. Now I'm planning to have a child with my husband, and it's especially difficult to find my ovulation period. I'm very worried that it might affect pregnancy, so I want to take care of my menstruation. Should I go to the hospital for irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If menstrual irregularity affects menopause or pregnancy, you should have a check-up at the hospital. First, an ultrasound should be done to examine the growth and development of the reproductive organs. If there are no issues, you can have a detailed check of the six sexual hormones during your menstrual period to understand the endocrine status. Menstrual irregularity can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or short-acting birth control pills. Pay attention to exercise and a nutritious diet.
