Patient's question:
Menstrual cycles are all 21 days long. Previously, they were 28-30 days. For the past two months, there has been significant pain in the vaginal area, and the discharge has been brown in color, with normal menstrual blood only appearing after four or five days. During these two months, I have been taking appetite suppressant medication, and I have had candidiasis for five or six years, with frequent flare-ups.What kind of assistance would you like? Hello, what is the cause of this?
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis has been ongoing for two years and will never be the cause of menstrual irregularity. The past two months have been abnormal, and during this period, weight-loss medication was taken. The hormones contained in weight-loss medication are easily disrupted by various factors. A delay or advancement of 3-5 days in menstruation is a normal phenomenon. Weight-loss medication should not be taken casually, as it interferes with the normal endocrine system, leading to endocrine disorders and consequently menstrual irregularities.
