Patient's question:
My last menstrual period was on January 31st, and this time it came on March 11th, about 10 days late. Before that, there were several instances where it was delayed by a few days as well. I often feel cold in my hands and feet.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for menstrual irregularity can be divided into two major categories. One is the dysfunction of the nervous-endocrine system, and the other is organic lesions or medication side effects. Additionally, the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) may also cause menstrual irregularity. It is recommended to undergo comprehensive examinations at a hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive symptomatic treatment.The occurrence of menstrual irregularity not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
