Patient's question:
My relative has been quite unlucky these past couple of years. First, she lost money in her business. Then, her husband was diagnosed with hepatitis B. Recently, she suddenly experienced sharp lower abdominal pain, followed by irregular menstrual cycles. Her first thought was whether she might also be infected with hepatitis B.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, also known as menstrual dysfunction, is a common gynecological condition characterized by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or pain and systemic symptoms before or during menstruation. The causes may include organic inflammation or functional disorders. Many systemic diseases, such as blood disorders, hypertension, liver disease, endocrine disorders, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, reproductive tract infections, and tumors (such as ovarian tumors and uterine fibroids), can lead to menstrual dysfunction.The hepatitis B condition is very serious. It is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
