Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods due to endocrine disorders, and each month they are not timely. Moreover, the amount is small and the color is dark. Recently, I noticed some small white spots on my chest that are spreading. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor told me it was vitiligo, which scared me. I don’t understand why none of my family members have this disease, yet I do. The doctor said that my condition is very likely to be caused by endocrine issues. Can endocrine disorders cause vitiligo?Doctor's answer:
Vitiligo has a close relationship with the endocrine system, and endocrine is also an inducing factor of vitiligo. Clinical experiments have proven that: melanocyte-stimulating hormone, corticotropin, and sex hormones can promote the synthesis and metabolism of melanin. On the other hand, corticosteroids, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, as well as thyroxine and melatonin, can inhibit the synthesis and metabolism of melanin. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a regular and professional hospital for treatment! For gynecological disease patients, in addition to timely treatment, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
