How should irregular menstruation be treated?

Patient's question:

As a girl, having a normal menstrual cycle is very important. However, I don't just experience menstrual cramps during my period; I also often have irregular periods. My menstrual cycle hasn't been very regular this month. Doctor, how can I adjust my menstrual cycle back to normal? How should I treat it?

Doctor's answer:

For women of normal childbearing age who have irregular menstrual cycles accompanied by dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology outpatient department for a follow-up examination. A gynecological ultrasound should be performed to check for endometriosis. Blood tests for six female hormones can help assess the levels of female sex hormones and understand potential abnormalities in the pituitary, hypothalamus, and ovary that may lead to menstrual disorders. Based on the detailed examination results, targeted treatment can be provided, which will be more precise.
