Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the factors that determine the menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is the periodic shedding of the endometrium and bleeding expelled through the vagina during a woman's entire reproductive life. Approximately every month, the endometrium undergoes a cyclical change of thickening, vascular proliferation, glandular growth and secretion, as well as necrosis and shedding of the endometrium accompanied by bleeding. This physiological cycle is known as the menstrual cycle. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
