Patient's question:
I just turned 20 this year and have been suffering from irregular menstruation. Sometimes it's almost months without a period, which makes me doubt my body. Sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to get pregnant in the future. This really bothers me. How should I treat this at my age?Doctor's answer:
Hello patient friend, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all lead to dysfunction of this gonadal axis, resulting in menstrual disorders. We should pay timely attention to our physical health. If severe menstrual disorders are detected, it is necessary to seek medical examination and diagnosis at a regular professional hospital in a timely manner. When choosing a hospital, it is recommended to consider tertiary hospitals, as they generally have more comprehensive equipment and experienced specialists. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
