Patient's question:
The last menstrual period started on October 12 and lasted for 7 days. It usually lasts about 5 days. From November 3 to November 7, I was with my boyfriend, and there were only two instances where we did not take precautions, which was withdrawal. However, my period has not arrived yet. On December 10, I went to the hospital for a check-up.The ultrasound results were:
Anterior-positioned uterus, with the uterine body measuring approximately 514449. The surface is smooth, and the shape is regular. The (solid echo) is moderate, with evenly distributed light spots. The uterine cavity line is central, and no obvious pregnancy echoes were observed inside the uterus.
In the left adnexal region, a linear area of fluid shadow was visible.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Inflammation can cause amenorrhea. If you haven't had a menstrual period for three months, it can be diagnosed as amenorrhea.Points to note about menstrual irregularities:
1. Maintain a positive mood and avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, sleepiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency toward depression during their menstrual period, all of which are normal and should not cause undue anxiety.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infections. Keep the external genital area clean. Abstinence from sexual intercourse during the menstrual period is strictly required. Stay warm and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, and have good ventilation. Wash and change underwear frequently, and ensure that the washed underwear is dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Individuals with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before their period and avoid foods that stimulate the body's heat, such as garlic, scallions, chives, and ginger. Those with poor qi and blood should increase their nutritional intake regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and lamb, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
