Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
In general, patients with menstrual disorders should visit the gynecology department. Gynecologists will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and necessary laboratory tests based on the patient's specific symptoms, age, reproductive history, and other factors to determine the underlying cause of the menstrual irregularity. Possible causes include endocrine imbalances, organic lesions of the reproductive organs, and systemic diseases. After a definitive diagnosis, the doctor will develop an appropriate treatment plan according to the condition, such as medication or surgical intervention. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with menstrual disorders seek timely medical attention at the gynecology department of a hospital to receive prompt and effective treatment.
