Is menstrual irregularity a disease?

Patient's question:

I am 24 years old. My last menstrual period was on the 1st of last month, but because my period is irregular, it has been 15 days now, and it seems there are still no signs of it starting. My stomach doesn't hurt, and I haven't had any symptoms at all. I even drank motherwort, but it didn't help. Is this a disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on the situation you described, occasional missed periods, excluding pregnancy, may be related to factors such as improper diet, exercise stress, and irregular sleep patterns. If periods are frequently delayed by more than one week, it is necessary to visit a regular hospital gynecology department for follow-up, undergo relevant examinations, such as pelvic ultrasound and the measurement of six sex hormones, to identify the cause and actively treat it.
