Does hepatitis B cause menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

Since April of this year, my period has lasted for 7 to 8 days, and then it comes again after a week. I had B checks for the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys, as well as a gynecological examination, all of which were normal. I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, but it hasn't improved. I also have many facial pimples.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! After mature women are infected with hepatitis B, due to the persistent damage to liver cell function, their metabolic function for estrogen is weakened. The concentration of estrogen in the blood becomes excessively high, which feedback-inhibits the secretion of gonadotropins. The normal physiological fluctuations of estrogen become disrupted, potentially leading to menstrual irregularities. Therefore, for menstrual irregularities caused by this condition, the treatment should focus on hepatitis B, as this is the symptomatic approach.
