Can irregular menstruation lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

Two years ago, symptoms of menstrual irregularity began to appear. After being married for two years, I haven't been able to conceive a child. Does menstrual irregularity lead to infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation can indeed affect pregnancy. After experiencing irregular menstruation, menopause also becomes irregular. Additionally, some diseases that cause irregular menstruation, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can also lead to oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation). Therefore, menstrual disorders can impact normal conception. As a result, you need to consult with the gynecology department for a follow-up examination. First, blood hormone tests and gynecological color Doppler ultrasound should be conducted to identify the underlying cause of the menstrual irregularity. Then, appropriate treatment can be administered.
