Patient's question:
What should I do about irregular menstruation? I started menstruating at the age of 13 or 14. Before that, my periods were very regular, occurring once a month. However, recently, for some unknown reason, my periods have become very irregular. Sometimes they come once a month, and other times they occur less than once a month.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by endocrine disorders, so it is necessary to have blood tests for the six sex hormones in the morning on the 3rd to 5th day of the menstrual period on an empty stomach for diagnosis. After the diagnosis, it is generally required to use some hormone-containing drugs to adjust the menstrual cycle. At the same time, attention should also be paid to self-regulation. It is important to have a regular diet and sleep schedule, and to avoid excessive mental stress, as these factors can affect the endocrine status.
