Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it possible that prolonged menstrual periods are a result of endocrine disorders?Doctor's answer:
If the duration of menstruation exceeds 7 days, it is considered menstrual extension. There are many reasons for menstrual extension, such as: uterine fibroids, endometritis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, ovarian diseases, endocrine disorders, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for an ultrasound and hormone level tests to identify the cause and adjust accordingly.The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
