Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. Since six months ago, my menstrual periods have been very few, usually lasting less than two days, and they started out dark in color. I used to take a lot of emergency contraception pills. I had two painless abortions. I am afraid it may lead to infertility. Now, what tests should I do at the hospital? Can it be compensated? Urgent.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, if the ultrasound examination shows no major issues with the uterus, it is possible that this is caused by incomplete ovary function. It is recommended that you have a test for the six sex hormones at the hospital, which can help determine the function of your ovaries.There are many reasons for a light menstrual flow, such as gynecological inflammation, hormone-containing medications like birth control pills, excessively thin endometrium, stress, and staying up late. A normal menstrual cycle is three to seven days. Long-term light menstrual flow can definitely lead to endocrine disorders in women and make it difficult to conceive. It is advised to undergo preliminary examinations at a regular hospital, including ultrasound and tests for the six sex hormones, to confirm the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
