Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. Since I started menstruating at the age of 14, it has not been very normal (it used to be basically once every two months, with a small amount of flow). I have been using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate it. From July last year to April this year, it was once a month. Then, the one in May was delayed by 7 days, and the one in June was delayed by 10 days. But since then, it has not come again.I plan to get married next year and also want to have a child as soon as possible. How should I treat it?
Doctor's answer:
The menstrual period of a normal woman lasts for 2 to 7 days, with a flow volume of 50 to 80 milliliters. If the duration is less than 2 days and the flow volume is less than 30ml, it is generally considered to be hypomenorrhea. There are many causes of hypomenorrhea, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, and others. Additionally, it may be due to issues with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion causing thinning of the endometrium. Long-term hypomenorrhea may lead to amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital in time to examine and identify the cause, and then actively treat the symptoms to avoid affecting your health. Find the cause and treat it accordingly.
