Does irregular menstruation affect physical health?

Patient's question:

I recently got a girlfriend, and I love her very much. However, my girlfriend has some irregular periods. She told me that sometimes when her periods become very severe, she only gets her menstruation once a year. So I'm very worried and want to ask if irregular periods can affect physical health?

Doctor's answer:

A menstrual period may only occur once a year or so. This menstrual condition is considered severe menstrual irregularity and can affect overall health. It may be related to abnormal excretion of sex hormones in the body and could impact future fertility. It is also recommended to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination to check the condition of the ovaries. Medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the menstrual cycle. The above information can be used as a reference.
