Patient's question:
My daughter has had irregular menstruation since her first period at the age of 12. Every month, her period either comes early or is delayed. I have taken her to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for, but the results have not been very significant. Therefore, I would like to consult a doctor: can irregular menstruation self-cure?Doctor's answer:
Since my daughter is only 15 years old and in the stage of puberty, the uterus and ovaries have not yet fully developed. Due to the relatively unstable hormone levels, it is easy to experience irregular menstruation again. If there are no discomfort symptoms during this stage, and no anemia symptoms are caused by excessive menstrual flow, most cases do not require treatment. Generally, it is recommended to wait until the further development of the uterus and ovaries, as most can gradually recover. If the menstrual cycle remains irregular after reaching adulthood, targeted treatment for regulating menstruation can be considered.
