Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods, but there were no specific symptoms, and I just let it go for several years without really caring about it. Usually, the dates would be delayed, and I thought it was just irregular menstruation, nothing serious. But recently, my colleague told me that irregular menstruation is also a gynecological disease, which startled me. Is that really true?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual irregularity is absolutely a common symptom of gynecological diseases. Many gynecological conditions in women can lead to the occurrence of menstrual irregularity. Additionally, there are many other reasons that can cause menstrual irregularity, such as endocrine disorders, ovarian diseases, organic changes or drug-induced issues, obesity, emotions, environment, weather, etc. The occurrence of menstrual irregularity not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
