Patient's question:
I have irregular periods. It has been a long time since my last period, and there have been many times when the amount was particularly heavy, as well as times when it was particularly light. What should I do about irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual cycle is generally related to factors such as physical exertion, mental stress, and environmental changes, as well as poor ovarian function. If your period is delayed by a week, you can take progesterone orally to induce menstruation. After your period ends, you should have a thorough examination of the six hormone levels at the hospital and check the growth and development of follicles during the mid-cycle to rule out the possibility of polycystic ovary syndrome. If you are overweight, appropriate dietary restrictions should be applied, as excessive obesity can affect ovarian function. In your daily diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and engage in moderate exercise to enhance your physical fitness.
