Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has been irregular. Sometimes it comes every two or three months, and sometimes every 40 or 50 days. When it does come, the flow is not heavy, lasting only three days. I have had one induced abortion, and now I find it very difficult to get pregnant. Should I see a doctor for menstrual disorders or infertility?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires identifying the specific cause and treating the underlying condition. Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation can also be considered.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound and a checkup of the six sex hormones to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
