Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, but recently I always feel uncomfortable. It's mainly because of irregular menstruation. I always feel that the problem with my menstruation is very serious. I have always been like this and have never been normal. However, taking some medicine hasn't helped. How should I deal with this irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation has never been regular, it is necessary to have a blood test for 6 hormone levels on the second day of the period. If the menstruation comes earlier or later by within a week, it is considered normal. It does not mean that if it comes on the 5th of this month, it must come on the 5th of the next month; there can be a one-week variation, which is all within normal range. If it is less than one week, it is considered menstrual disorder. To determine the specific cause, careful examination is required to confirm it.
