What should I do if my menstrual cycle is irregular, occurring only once every few months?

Patient's question:

I have irregular periods, with one cycle every few months. My last period started on November 11th and ended on November 24th. On November 13th, I had an ultrasound, which showed the endometrium was 13mm thick. The doctor said it wasn't a period and prescribed progesterone. I started taking the progesterone capsules on November 24th and after taking them for two days, I started bleeding again on November 26th. Besides the heavy bleeding, I also have large blood clots. It's already December 3rd, and besides the blood, how serious is this situation? Should I focus on taking the progesterone capsules and Xiangshao Granules?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with menstrual disorders can visit the hospital at any time for a thorough examination. They can improve the relevant ultrasound tests to check the condition inside the uterus. If the menstruation is completely clean, an ultrasound examination is even better. The levels of six sex hormones are usually checked between the third and fifth day of the menstrual period.
Treating gynecological diseases according to symptoms is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
