Patient's question:
Recently for the past half year, my menstrual flow has been light. In the last few days, it's always been incomplete, with a little bit every day. I've gone to the hospital for an ultrasound check, which showed no problems. I haven't had a sex hormone test. Is this menstrual irregularity? How should I regulate it?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if you experience symptoms of menstrual irregularity such as reduced menstrual flow and shortened menstrual periods, it is likely caused by endocrine disorders.If the symptoms have persisted for a relatively long time, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for a sex hormone test (which can be done on the second day of your menstrual period). Based on the test results, you can undergo regulation. In the meantime, it is important to maintain adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate exercise, and keep a calm and cheerful mindset. You may also consider consuming more soy products and honey, and drinking soy milk regularly, as it contains phytoestrogen-like compounds that are very beneficial for women's body regulation.
