Is menstrual irregularity a reason to check the six hormones?

Patient's question:

I have irregular menstruation for over ten years. Sometimes I only have a period every two or three months. It is heavy and painful. I suspect it is caused by hormonal imbalance. Do you need to check the six hormones for irregular menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

You have menstrual irregularities, and your medical history is quite long. In this case, it is generally necessary to first undergo a thorough ultrasound examination to rule out any organic inflammation. At the same time, it is also required to conduct a test for six hormones to determine if the irregularities are caused by hormonal imbalances, such as luteal phase deficiency. Only after a clear diagnosis can targeted treatment for menstrual regulation be administered.
Eat more soy products. Based on the specific cause identified from the examination results, further treatment measures should be taken. On a daily basis, it is advisable to consume more seafood, beef, and lamb.
