Patient's question:
I used to have my period delayed by 3-5 days, but this month it came earlier.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is considered to be menstrual irregularity. Menstrual irregularity is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis.Clinical manifestations of ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding: Regular menstrual cycles, but the cycle may be shortened, or there may be slight bleeding several days before the period, with no change in the amount of menstrual flow. It commonly occurs in women of childbearing age, mostly during the recovery period after childbirth or miscarriage. It can be divided into two types: luteal phase defect and incomplete luteolysis.
When the corpus luteum is underdeveloped, its secretory function is poor, leading to insufficient progesterone secretion. Clinical manifestations include regular menstrual cycles, but the cycle may be shortened, or there may be slight bleeding several days before the period, with no change in the amount of menstrual flow.
Hormone testing is recommended.
While pregnancy probability is higher during the ovulatory period, it generally starts around 14 days before the next menstrual period. Specifically, you can use an ovulation test kit to monitor ovulation daily after your period, and maintain a regular schedule and diet.
