What should I do if I start having a small amount of menstruation?

Patient's question:

I usually get my period about 7 days early, and it lasts for about 6 days. But recently, for the past few months, it's been the same—about 7 days early and lasting for about 6 days. However, just 4 days after it ended, I started having light menstrual bleeding again.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! There are two major causes of menstrual disorders:
1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction: This primarily involves instability or defects in the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis, which is known as menstrual disorders.
2. Organic lesions or drug-induced causes: This includes local inflammation, tumors, and developmental abnormalities in 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.
