Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can irregular periods affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy is determined by whether ovulation occurs. If ovulation happens, pregnancy is certain. During periods of irregular menstruation, ovulation still occurs, so it is without a doubt possible to get pregnant. However, irregular menstruation is a major cause of infertility. The reasons for irregular menstruation fall into two main categories: 1. Disorders of the nervous-endocrine system: This primarily involves instability or dysfunction in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, known as menstrual disorders. 2. Organic lesions or drug-induced causes: This includes local inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, and malnutrition of the reproductive organs.
