Question:
Hello doctor,
I have an irregular menstrual cycle, experiencing periods three times in one month with heavy bleeding each time, and it doesn't completely stop but continues to flow a little. Previously, my menstrual cycle was long but quite regular, with occasional delays. I have never had sexual intercourse. If I go for a check-up, will it affect my hymen? What does having a period three times in one month indicate? I look forward to your response. Thank you!

Hello,
With the question "What does having a period three times in one month indicate?", I would like to answer as follows:
A normal menstrual cycle ranges from 21-35 days. Experiencing periods three times in one month is classified as menorrhagia. If the bleeding is heavy, with clots and prolonged, it can cause anemia and make treatment more difficult. In your case, the doctor advises you to visit a specialized gynecological medical facility immediately to find the cause and receive medication to stop the bleeding.
Do not worry about going for a check-up if you have never had sexual intercourse, as doctors have other examination methods such as abdominal ultrasound, blood tests, and rectal exams that do not affect the hymen.
If you have further questions about having periods three times in one month, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Health System for further examination and consultation. Thank you for trusting and sending your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health. Best regards!
