Patient's question:
I haven't had my period regularly in recent weeks. Sometimes it comes after several months, and other times it comes again after only two weeks. The amount can also vary, sometimes more, sometimes less. I've been feeling emotionally unstable and sometimes easily irritable or angry. My skin also seems to have gotten worse. I don't want to take medication and would like to try taking soy isoflavones instead. What kind of help do I need: How long does it take for soy isoflavones to be effective?Doctor's answer:
Don't take medicine blindly. Changes in the menstrual cycle, blood color, and blood volume are all part of menstrual irregularities. Many menstrual disorders are caused by dysfunction or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which is a condition known as menstrual disorders. Another portion of menstrual irregularities is caused by organic lesions or medication, and this requires active treatment and regulation. Soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens that can compensate for the deficiency of estrogen secretion in women over 30, improve skin moisture and elasticity, alleviate menopausal symptoms, and enhance bone density. However, excessive consumption can also lead to conditions such as uterine fibroids.
