Patient's question:
I have irregular periods, and they haven't stopped for over ten days. Since last year, I've been to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything, and it eventually got better over time. But it's happening again this year.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The causes of menstrual disorders can be divided into two major categories:1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction-induced: This primarily involves instability or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which is known as menstrual disorders.
2. Organic lesions or drug-induced: This includes local inflammation, tumors, and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs; malnutrition; intracranial disorders; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid, adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood disorders, etc. The use of psychiatric medications; endocrine preparations; or the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception may also lead to menstrual disorders.
