What blood tests should be done if menstrual bleeding is light?

Patient's question:

I have a delayed and light menstrual period, so I went to the hospital for a blood test. I don't know what blood tests are needed for a light menstrual period.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. Delayed menstruation with a small amount of flow indicates menstrual disorders, which are relatively common in gynecology. It is generally considered to be caused by ovarian endocrine issues, and it is necessary to have a thorough examination in the gynecology department of a hospital. You can undergo a six-hormone test, which typically requires fasting blood draw. Then, based on the test results, additional treatment can be administered.
