Patient's question:
Last semester, after the final exams ended and during the summer vacation, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Then, I took birth control pills continuously for three months, during which my menstruation was very normal. After two months, my period started to become shorter in duration and lighter in flow. In August of this year, I took Chinese medicine once, and in September, I had a menstrual period. But since then, I haven’t had my period. What should I do? Is there anything that can help regulate my menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Last year, it was carefully diagnosed that I had polycystic ovary syndrome, and I also took medication to regulate it. Now, my menstrual cycle is still irregular, and it needs to be checked whether my weight is substandard or not. Polycystic ovary syndrome has multiple types. Some may have substandard weight, while others may have high androgen levels. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to a regular routine, avoid overtime work, engage in appropriate activities, and control weight. Since it has been two or three months since my last menstrual period, I can first have an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium, and then take medication to induce menstruation.
