Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Can taking birth control pills help regulate my menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is not possible. Irregular menstruation is just a symptom. To treat the imbalance, the first step should be to identify the underlying cause. Generally, for irregular menstruation, hormone levels and ovarian function must be checked. An electrochemiluminescence test for six hormones should be conducted to clarify the situation before symptomatic treatment.The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
