Patient's question:
Doctor, excuse me. I'm 26 years old, and I'd like to ask, is this the case where my menstruation has always been delayed by two weeks recently? And sometimes it doesn't come for two months. Is this considered menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is indeed menstrual irregularity, because the interval between two menstrual periods is not fixed. Therefore, you need to wait until your menstrual period starts and there is a significant flow, specifically on the second or third day of your period, to go to the hospital on an empty stomach for a blood test of six hormones. This will help assess how much your hormone levels are disrupted. Especially before you conceive, these must be adjusted, as irregular menstruation and menopause will affect your ability to get pregnant.
