Patient's question:
I first got my period when I was in my early teens. Although it lasted for seven days, the amount of blood flow each day was very light, and my periods were always irregular. Once I got sick, I didn't have my period for about a year. At that time, I was a student and was very busy, so I couldn't take medicine. Now I want to take care of my health. How can I regulate my period and increase the amount of blood flow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you. Regarding your situation, it's important to first identify the cause. You can have a detailed abdominal ultrasound and a check-up of six hormones during the 2-5 days of your menstrual period. If it's caused by endocrine disorders, you can take progesterone orally to regulate it. Generally, medication is used for three menstrual cycles. Pay attention to getting adequate rest on time, avoid overexertion and stress, and do not take emergency contraception frequently. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
