Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Had an induced abortion in May of this year. Menstruation was normal after the surgery. Subsequently, took emergency contraception pills. The past two menstrual periods have been less abundant than before. What could be the reason? Will this condition lead to infertility in the future?Other: Menstruation was not very regular in the past, usually off by 3 or 5 days. After taking emergency contraception pills, menstruation occurred every 29 days for a period of time. What could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you generally experience symptoms of menstrual disorders such as reduced menstrual flow and shortened menstrual periods, it is likely caused by endocrine disorders. If the symptoms have persisted for a relatively long time, it is recommended to visit a hospital for sex hormone testing (which can be done on the second day of your menstrual period). Based on the test results, you can undergo regulation. It is also important to maintain adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate exercise, keep a calm and cheerful mindset, and consume more soy products and honey. Additionally, drinking soy milk regularly is beneficial, as it contains phytoestrogen-like compounds that are very helpful in regulating women's health.
