Patient's question:
A gynecologist to see if I have irregular periods or endocrine disorders? My periods are rarely on time, usually coming once every 2 or 3 months. It could be that it's not a monthly period but a quarterly period. The longest time I've had was once a year. Hello, what is going on with this?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of menstrual disorders include emotional abnormalities leading to irregular menstruation, such as stress, pressure, and psychological trauma, as well as menstrual disorders caused by cold stimuli, such as getting cold during menstruation and cooling down the uterus. Dietary restrictions can also lead to menstrual disorders, as women who diet are more prone to irregular periods. After ruling out the above conditions, a careful abdominal ultrasound should be performed to confirm the normal shape of the uterus and ovaries. Checking hormone levels can help identify factors related to endocrine disorders.
