Patient's question:
Previously, due to excessive stress, my menstrual cycle was irregular. At that time, I underwent a thorough examination and took progesterone for about three to five months, along with another medication whose name I've forgotten. It improved then, but this month it's delayed by more than ten days. Now, I'm taking a traditional Chinese medicine for acne, and I'm not sure if it's interfering.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is recommended not to take traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine at the same time. Menstruation can be affected by emotions, stress, diet, medication, and other factors, leading to irregular cycles again. However, if the cycle is shorter than about a week, it is considered abnormal. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. A light diet should be the foundation.
