Patient's question:
I recently experienced menstrual irregularity again right after my period, but I don't have dysmenorrhea. I've heard that dysmenorrhea can be quite painful, but I feel that this menstrual irregularity is also very painful because it suddenly makes my pants wet. Hello, what causes menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation refers to the dates of menstruation not being fixed, meaning the interval between two menstrual periods is not consistent. Most cases of recurring irregular menstruation are caused by endocrine disorders. Of course, at the age of 16, the ovaries have not yet fully developed, which may lead to this situation. However, if menstruation had been regular before and suddenly becomes irregular, it is advisable to get checked. Specifically, on the second day of menstruation, have a fasting blood test to check for six hormones.
