Diagnosis of irregular menstruation requires understanding whether the menstrual cycle is normal

Irregular menstruation is a common disease that troubles women. Diagnosis should first start with understanding whether a woman's menstrual cycle is normal.

1. Early menstruation

An early menstrual cycle is a sign of irregular menstruation. If a woman's menstruation is advanced by 7 days, or even 15 days, for more than 3 consecutive menstrual cycles, irregular menstruation can be preliminarily diagnosed. Especially if the menstrual cycle is 15 days early, it needs to be taken seriously and differentiated from vaginal bleeding in the interval between two menstruations, and special physiological manifestations such as puberty and menopause should be ruled out as other causes.

2. Delayed menstruation

If the menstrual cycle exceeds 35 days and lasts for more than 3 consecutive menstrual cycles, it should be preliminarily judged as irregular menstruation. The patient needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time to rule out organic lesions of the uterus and ovaries through B-ultrasound or pneumoperitoneumography. In addition, delayed menstruation may also be caused by special physiological manifestations such as puberty and menopause, which need to be carefully identified.

3. Menstrual disorders

If a woman has irregular menstruation for more than three consecutive menstrual cycles, that is, the menstrual cycle is either early or late, and each menstrual period lasts more than 7 days, it may be caused by irregular menstruation. Patients need to go to the hospital in time for routine gynecological examinations and B-ultrasound examinations to rule out the possibility of organic lesions, and measure basal body temperature, vaginal smear examinations, cervical mucus crystal examinations, etc. to understand whether the ovarian function is normal.
