Patient's question:
Female, 25, married, I would like to ask: On January 3rd, I had my period, and it ended on January 9th. A week later, I had brownish discharge that wasn't like normal leukorrhea, lasting for 3 days. Is this menstrual disorder? How should it be treated? Should I have a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
Here are the translations as requested:Psychological factors such as stress, high pressure, and changes in the environment, as well as some endocrine disorders, can all cause delayed menstruation.
Expert tip: If menstruation is delayed only occasionally 1—2 times and without other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall under the category of menstrual disorders. When the menstrual cycle interval lasts more than 35 days, it is referred to as oligomenorrhea. When menstruation stops for more than 3 menstrual cycles, it is called amenorrhea. Since amenorrhea can lead to anovulation, it may also cause issues such as osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia, which must be taken seriously. It is necessary to seek immediate medical attention for a comprehensive examination.
