Gynecology

Irregular Periods / Amenorrhea

We look at when your period changed together with changes in daily life and health.

For an irregular-period consultation in Sasang, Busan, please prepare the date of your last period and recent cycle changes.

Notes you keep on a calendar can help us look for a cause.

If the interval between periods becomes irregular, or periods stop unlike before, we review the pattern of change. Pregnancy, contraceptive pills or other medicines, changes in weight, stress, or exercise, and hormone-related conditions are among the factors that should be considered.

You can hear an explanation during your visit, review what you need to know, and then decide.

If your period is late and you have pain or bleeding, please get checked promptly.

Pregnancy-related assessment

If abdominal pain and abnormal bleeding occur when pregnancy is possible, evaluation for conditions such as ectopic pregnancy may be needed. Please seek care promptly.

Please bring records like these.

Start date and how long it lasts

Record the first and last days of your period and any change in amount from usual. Please mark bleeding between periods separately.

Recent changes

Please tell us about changes in weight, diet, exercise, sleep and stress, as well as medicines you take and your method of contraception.

Pregnancy plans and accompanying symptoms

We check the possibility of pregnancy and your plans, as well as accompanying symptoms such as acne, changes in hair, and fatigue.

Tests are chosen to match the questions that need answering.

  1. Start by checking for possible pregnancy

    If your period is late and pregnancy is possible, it needs to be checked. Discuss when to test and how to interpret the result.

  2. Evaluating the cause

    We look for causes through a medical history and, when needed, hormone tests, ultrasound, and other evaluations. Not every test is needed for everyone.

  3. Care matched to your goals

    We make a plan by distinguishing the goals of treating the cause, managing your cycle, and preparing for pregnancy. If you have started medication, we also check how bleeding changes afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my cycle is irregular, does that mean I cannot get pregnant?

Irregular ovulation can make it harder to prepare for pregnancy, but this is not assumed to mean infertility. Counseling is based on the current cause and your pregnancy plans.

Do I have to take hormone medication?

Options such as observation, lifestyle adjustment, and medication vary by cause and symptoms. Please have the purpose of the medicine and its precautions explained to you.

What causes are checked first when a period is late?

We first check the possibility of pregnancy, then review contraceptive pills and other medicines, changes in weight, stress or exercise, and hormonal causes. A late period alone does not establish a diagnosis of PCOS.

Feel free to bring your questions.

Please tell us what is bothering you and your previous examination and treatment history. Together we will confirm the care you need.
