Why is the menstrual cycle irregular?

Patient's question:

Since I started my period at 13, the timing has always been very punctual—coming exactly when expected—and the amount has also been stable. But recently, it has started to delay again, sometimes even by half a month without arriving, and the flow is also unstable, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Why is my period irregular?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is generally related to endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, staying up late, uterine diseases, ovarian inflammation, irregular diet, nutritional status, oral medications, emotional fluctuations, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound and a detailed check of six hormones. Based on the check results, under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic medication and treatment should be administered. It is important to rest more, avoid overexertion, maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, and avoid consuming extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
