Why are there two menstrual periods?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: For the past 2 months, I have had 2 menstrual periods each month, with a duration of 7 days. I don't know what could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is related to endocrine disorders leading to lesions of the endometrium. It can be said to be not serious, and there is a possibility of recovery through active exercise and dietary changes. If ovarian function declines, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination.
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice:
1. Functional disorders, such as menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine dysfunction;
2. Organic disorders, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual irregularities.
The treatment of menstrual disorders first requires an ultrasound and six sex hormone tests to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the primary disease, supplemented appropriately with some traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
