Patient's question:
My period has been irregular since I first started it at 14, and it has been like this for over a decade. I've tried various treatments, including Chinese medicine, but nothing has helped. My mother said her period was also irregular when she was young—sometimes she wouldn't have it for several months, or other times it would come on time. But after giving birth, her period became more regular as she got older. I haven't really paid much attention to it, and I don't feel any symptoms when I have my period, no cramps, no lower back pain. But my roommate said an irregular period is serious, and she wants to ask a doctor—is this okay?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. After reading your description, your symptoms are related to irregular menstruation, with a typical menstrual cycle of about 28 to 30 days. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology outpatient department of a hospital for a detailed examination. An MRI should be performed, and if necessary, a six-panel sex hormone test should be conducted to identify the specific issue. Then, treatment can be tailored accordingly. I hope you can go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and strive for early treatment to overcome the of the disease. Wishing you good health.
