Doctor's answer:
Hello, you have severe menstrual irregularities, which are likely caused by endocrine disorders. It is crucial to identify the specific cause to effectively manage and treat the condition. The menstrual interval is prolonged, and the menstrual cycle is significantly abnormal. It could be related to gynecological issues or endocrine disorders. After a definitive diagnosis, treatment can be more effective. Do not use medication blindly; it is still necessary to undergo a sex hormone six-item test to determine if it is caused by endocrine disorders.
