Patient's question:
My niece is 17 years old and usually lives on campus. Although the university is very close to home, she decided to live on campus for her studies. Last month, when she went home, she mentioned to her parents that sometimes her menstruation cycle lasts for 30 days, or even 40 days. How should a 17-year-old deal with irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is greatly related to daily living habits. However, as long as menstruation occurs every month, there is no major issue, and there is no need to be anxious. Pay attention to your diet in daily life, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold items. Also, avoid staying up late frequently. It is normal for menstruation to occur every 30 to 40 days sometimes.
