Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods for a long time and don't know if I can take folic acid. Hello, can women with irregular periods take folic acid?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation can be managed with folic acid, but taking folic acid does not treat the underlying cause of irregular menstruation. There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, including endocrine disorders, gynecological infections, and other factors such as overwork. It is best to have a timely and thorough examination, consult a doctor for appropriate medication, and focus on rest, balanced nutrition, avoiding stimulating foods, and reducing overwork. These measures can help stabilize irregular menstruation, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and prevent bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
