Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was very regular, but in the past year, my periods have been very irregular. Recently, there has been a delay of 18 days again. I want to ask what should I do if my menstrual cycle is delayed by 18 days? Moreover, in this past year, the color of my menstruation has often appeared white.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking: If menstruation is delayed by 18 days accompanied by dark-colored menstrual flow, the more common reasons are blood and qi stagnation, or blood and qi deficiency due to cold exposure. In this case, it is recommended to take oral herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation for nourishment. During this period, pay attention not to get cold and avoid eating too many cold foods to prevent worsening menstrual irregularities. You can drink some brown sugar water. The above information can be used for reference.
