Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling pain in my ovaries, as if someone is forcefully pinching them from the inside. Now, my period is three days late and there are no signs of it coming. Previously, my period was always very regular and never caused any problems. How should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
If there is sexual activity, the first thing to rule out with a delayed period is pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, a delay of one week or less is generally common and does not require treatment. If there is still menstrual irregularity after ruling out pregnancy, and the delay is less than two weeks, (blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving) Chinese herbal medicine can be used to induce menstruation. During this time, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, avoid cold and raw foods, and prevent overwork, mental stress, and excessive exertion. There are many treatments for ovary pain, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
