Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 20 years old. For the past two years, her menstruation has not been very regular. Sometimes it comes once every two months, and sometimes once every three months.This time, it's different from before. Her menstruation came every three months, but the amount was not much—just one day each time. At first, the flow was dark red, and then it turned coffee-colored. It was only one day each time, but it happened every day. She didn’t feel anything uncomfortable or have any symptoms.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a small or excessive amount of menstrual flow is often due to hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, which results in inadequate endometrial hyperplasia. It is recommended to visit a doctor for a check-up of the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, and to regulate the menstrual cycle according to medical advice. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
