Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had my period on September 27th, then on October 17th, October 31st, and then again on November 16th. Moreover, they were all less heavy than usual periods. Why did these three cycles come every 15 days? Could an ovarian cyst cause such regular menstrual irregularities? If I need an ultrasound, can I go now or should I wait until the bleeding stops?Doctor's answer:
The causes of irregular menstruation include gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc.But considering your age, it is generally considered to be due to endocrine disorders (the endocrine system can become imbalanced due to factors like the environment, mood, etc.). It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a sex hormone test. Additionally, it is best to also undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the uterus and its appendages. Based on the test results, you can then undergo regulation. At the same time, it is important to maintain adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate exercise, and keep a calm and cheerful mindset. You can also consume more soy products, honey, etc. Additionally, it is beneficial to drink more soy milk, as it contains phytoestrogens, which are very helpful for regulating women's health.
