Patient's question:
Menstruation has been abnormal for more than half a year. Every time it's either delayed or early, and the cycle has also shortened from the original six days to ten days. Now the cycle is too long, and I always feel excessive bleeding, often feeling weak and frequently having leg weakness. Sometimes I also experience dizziness again. Is menstrual disorder the same as endocrine disorder?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual disorders include abnormalities in the menstrual cycle, menstrual volume, and the duration of menstruation. Menstrual disorders are not caused by endocrine dysfunction. Endocrine dysfunction is one of the reasons that can lead to menstrual disorders. Because the menstrual cycle is influenced by ovarian endocrine hormones, if endocrine function is disrupted, leading to an imbalance in hormone secretion levels, it can result in symptoms of menstrual disorders.
