Irregular menstruation hides big problems

 　　CUHK Affiliated to Southeast University Hospital Hosted nationwide Gynecology Endocrinology disease The seminar on diagnosis and treatment strategies concluded successfully in Nanjing on the afternoon of July 8. Professor Ren Mulan, Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Zhongda Hospital, and other experts pointed out that in female It is possible to suffer from gynecological endocrine diseases at every stage. If diagnosis and treatment are not paid attention to or are not treated regularly, it may affect a woman’s life, especially for young women. Once a gynecological endocrine disease is diagnosed, treatment should be standardized to avoid complications. Infertility Or other metabolic syndromes, such as common diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

　　Case 1: Irregular menstruation and neglecting it lead to cancer

　　Ms. Liu, 25, is 1.6 meters tall but weighs 80 kilograms. She has had diabetes for more than two years. A month ago, Miss Liu suddenly stomach ache , the examination results at the hospital showed that Ms. Liu was suffering from“ Uterus Endometrial cancer.” This result surprised Ms. Liu's family and doctors. According to patient Ms. Liu’s mother, her daughter’s menstruation has been irregular since her menarche at 13 years old. Sometimes she only gets menstruation once every six months. Since she has no other physical discomfort, we don’t pay much attention to it. It was not until recently that my daughter developed abdominal pain and unexplained bleeding from her lower body that she came to the hospital for a checkup. Professor Yang Xin, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at Peking University People's Hospital, pointed out that such young endometrial cancer patients are still rare and are similar to those in adolescence. Irregular menstruation Not paying attention to treatment has something to do with it. Of course, there are many causes of endometrial cancer, including high blood pressure, obesity, Menstrual disorders , exogenous estrogen, etc.

　　Case 2: Afraid of hormone treatment and taking health care products indiscriminately

　　34-year-old Ms. Zhang has recently had extremely heavy menstrual flow, which is always wet. This time, she has not been clean for more than two months. So, Ms. Zhang went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Zhongda Hospital for treatment. The doctor suggested adjusting hormone medication. However, the patient was afraid that the hormones would be bad, so she rejected the doctor's suggestion and started taking health care products randomly after returning home. More than a month later, Ms. Zhang's menstrual abnormalities still did not improve. Then she came to the hospital again, which delayed treatment.

　　Professor Ren Mulan pointed out that many people are afraid of using hormone therapy when they encounter gynecological endocrine problems. They always feel that it is not good for the body and worry about causing cancer. In fact, hormone therapy can fight cancer if it is used correctly and rationally under the guidance of a doctor.

　　Experts remind: Gynecological endocrine treatment emphasizes individualization

　　Professor Ren Mulan introduced that endocrine medication is different from anti-infection and anti-tumor. Endocrine medication adjusts itself, establishing its own physiological laws or assisting its own reproductive endocrine balance. On the basis of standardization, it emphasizes individualization. If endocrine medication is not standardized, it will not only fail to suppress the disease, but will worsen it.

　　Experts remind that gynecological endocrine diseases will not only affect menstruation, but also affect future fertility and women’s overall endocrine metabolism, such as polycystic ovaries Patients with syndrome, dysfunctional uterine hemorrhage, and hyperprolactinemia are also more likely to develop metabolic syndrome than women in general.

　　Women of different ages should pay attention to gynecological and secretory diseases

　　For adolescent girls, menarche is a sign of puberty, but it takes 1.5 to 6 years for the ovaries to mature. Some girls will experience amenorrhea, menorrhagia or functional uterine bleeding, and some are related to high study pressure. Experts say that during adolescence, you will encounter some girls who have a lot of hair, are obese, and have abnormal menstruation. They are often diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. For such patients, early detection and early intervention are needed to avoid affecting future reproductive functions.

　　During the childbearing period, many girls will not pay attention to menstrual abnormalities. For example, some modern women do not want to have children. They think that it does not matter whether they have more or less menstruation, or whether they have menstruation or not, as long as there is no heavy bleeding. Experts believe that this idea is incorrect. As people's life expectancy continues to increase, women's endocrine problems will affect their lives, and menstruation is a sign of whether endocrine is normal, so it still needs to be taken seriously and seek medical attention in time if there is a problem.

　　Professor Ren Mulan said that many middle-aged and elderly women mistakenly believe that irregular menstruation is a symptom of a transitional stage. In fact, abnormal menstruation may also be a potential endometrial disease. For elderly women, that is, postmenopausal women, the most common ones are senile vaginitis, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. Once the above problems occur, they should seek medical treatment in time.

　　Warm reminder: During menstruation, you should keep warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimulation to prevent the invasion of cold evil; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and enhance physical fitness; you should try to control violent mood swings, avoid strong mental stimulation, and maintain a happy mood; you should prevent excessive labor in the house at ordinary times, and sex life is absolutely prohibited during menstruation.
