Patient's question:
I currently have very little menstruation, and when it does come, the flow is also very light. I am very worried, fearing that I might develop some gynecological disease. If that happens, it would be difficult to treat. Is this menstrual delay a gynecological disease?Doctor's answer:
Delayed menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders. Check the duration of the delay. Generally, a delay of up to one week is considered normal, but in recent days, it's advisable to monitor if there is an increase in discharge or to consume more qi-boosting foods. If menstrual bleeding is light, it may also be due to anemia or thin endometrium, requiring prompt medication to regulate the period, as otherwise, it can significantly affect health.For patients, if gynecological conditions are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary, otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological issues. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. I hope the answers above can help everyone. Thank you.
