Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old mother, but I have noticed that my menstrual period has been delayed many times, and the amount of blood flow has significantly increased. I am quite worried that something might be wrong with my body, but I haven't had the time to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. My friends around me also say that many women experience menstrual delays, so what harm can this cause? Should I consider (tiao niang) or go to the hospital for treatment to understand the risks of having a reduced menstrual flow or delayed period?Doctor's answer:
Delayed menstruation and reduced menstrual flow will never cause any side effects and will never lead to significant harm. It is only that one's mentality will be greatly disturbed, as worrying about whether they have contracted an illness may cause some mental tension. Other harms are not present. Once the symptoms of delayed menstruation and reduced menstrual flow reappear, one should always maintain a relaxed state of mind to avoid unnecessary panic.
