Patient's question:
I am 17 years old this year. My period is delayed by more than 10 days each month. After it comes, my lower back pain is unbearable, my face is yellow, and I sweat all over my face. During these days, I skip tutoring and don't go to school, and it's really frustrating to delay practice. My mom took me to an old Chinese medicine doctor. Hello, what are the causes of irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If it's delayed by more than 10 days each time, it proves that your menstrual cycle is over 40 days, which is normal. However, if menstrual cramps reappear, medication and dietary adjustments will be needed. Most menstrual cramps are caused by catching a cold during menstruation, intense exercise, or gynecological inflammation. Of course, at your age, it's unlikely to cause endometriosis, but endometriosis can also lead to menstrual cramps. Don't overworry and cooperate actively with treatment.
