Does menstrual irregularity refer to irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

I am 20 years old. Since my first menstrual period, I have had irregular periods, and there has been no pattern at all. Everyone says that irregular periods in childhood are normal, but I still have them now. What should I do about irregular periods?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation should be treated with some regulating drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Long-term irregular menstruation can lead to hormonal imbalance in the body, endocrine disorders, and in severe cases, it may cause abdominal swelling, pain, and gynecological diseases. It can also affect future fertility. Women with irregular menstruation should first pay attention to their dietary habits, enhance abdominal warmth, and maintain a pleasant mood during menstruation, avoiding prolonged low spirits.
