Patient's question:
Previously, my aunt's period always came on the 26th of each month. However, in the past three months, her period has been irregular. Last month, it arrived on the 15th, and so far this month, it still hasn't come. Recently, I haven't eaten spicy or cold foods. So, I want to ask, what exactly causes an irregular period?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is commonly caused by recent environmental changes, emotional disturbances, excessive stress, intense exercise, and extreme dieting. It may also be related to endocrine disorders. Currently, if your menstruation is delayed, you should first pay attention to a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, if your menstruation still hasn't arrived after two weeks, you should undergo an ultrasound examination to measure the thickness of the endometrium before taking medication. The above information can be used for reference.
