Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 26 years old. Since high school, I have felt that my menstrual cycle is irregular and it happens frequently. Every time, it is delayed, and I also have severe stomach pain during my period. Over the past two years, I have taken many medications, but they haven't been effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual cycle is always very long and delayed for a long time each time, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it may be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition may manifest with symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, obesity, acne, and infertility. You can have blood tests for the six major hormones between the first and third days of your period to check for any hormonal abnormalities, and undergo a detailed pelvic ultrasound examination for diagnosis. It is recommended to engage in regular physical activity and maintain a consistent daily routine.
