Patient's question:
Recently, for the past six months, my menstrual flow has been light, and in the last few days, it's always been incomplete, with a little bit of bleeding every day. I've had an ultrasound check at the hospital, and there were no problems. I didn't have a sex hormone test. Is this menstrual irregularity? How should I regulate it?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if you experience symptoms of menstrual irregularity 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 a sex hormone test (which can be done on the second day of your menstrual period). Based on the test results, you can undergo regulation. In the meantime, it is important to maintain adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate exercise, and keep a calm and cheerful mindset. You may also consider consuming more soy products and honey, and drinking soy milk regularly, as it contains isoflavones similar to estrogen, which are very beneficial for women's body regulation.
