Is menstrual irregularity a gynecological disease?

Patient's question:

I've been quite busy with training recently and haven't paid much attention to the timing of my period. A few days ago, I suddenly realized that over the past few months, my period hasn't been regular. I want to know, does irregular menstruation mean I have a gynecological disease?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for menstrual disorders requires distinguishing between deficiency and excess patterns. Deficiency patterns are characterized by low volume, pale color, short duration, and accompanied by general fatigue; excess patterns are marked by heavy flow, dark color, presence of blood clots, abdominal pain before menstruation, and possible symptoms like lower abdominal coldness. Deficiency patterns should be treated with tonification, while excess patterns require clearing.
The daily treatment for gynecological patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while also maintaining regular sleep schedules and avoiding alcohol.
