Bloating and irregular menstruation, what should I do?

A bloated abdomen and irregular menstruation may be related to indigestion, gastrointestinal gas, obesity, or abdominal masses. Irregular menstruation may result from endocrine disorders, gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or uterine fibroids, high levels of stress, or an irregular lifestyle.

It is recommended to adjust diet and lifestyle habits. Avoid consuming excessive amounts of gas-producing foods such as legumes and carbonated beverages. Increase intake of vegetables and fruits to maintain regular bowel movements. Engaging in appropriate physical activity can help promote gastrointestinal motility, alleviate bloating, and assist in regulating the endocrine system.

If irregular menstruation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal discharge, timely medical consultation is advised. Diagnostic tests such as gynecological ultrasound and sex hormone level assessments should be conducted to determine the underlying cause. If caused by a gynecological condition, treatment should be tailored to the specific diagnosis. If due to endocrine disorders, hormone regulation therapy under a doctor's guidance may be necessary.

If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
