Patient's question:
I didn't get my period last month, but later after taking medicine it improved and came. However, it has returned now after only ten days. I feel like the medicine isn't working anymore. I don't want irregular periods—doesn't that mean my body isn't healthy? How can I take care of it to regulate it?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can affect menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. For example, frequent overtime and fatigue, as well as excessive mental stress, can all lead to menstrual disorders. However, the main reason is still the hormonal levels in the body. If menstruation is irregular, blood tests for the six key hormones should be taken on the second day of the period to check the hormonal levels and see if there is any further disruption. If hormonal imbalance occurs, hormone medications can be used to restore the menstrual cycle.
