Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me why my menstrual flow is so heavy?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to undergo tests such as the six major sex hormone tests to check for any endocrine issues. Additionally, a color Doppler ultrasound should be performed to examine the uterus, adnexa, and other areas for any abnormalities. It is important to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.Contraceptive pills can affect menstrual irregularities. Emergency contraception should not be used more than once a month and no more than 2-3 times within a year. Exceeding these limits may lead to menstrual disorders. If your period is delayed by more than one week, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a check-up.
