Does drinking coffee cause irregular periods?

Patient's question:

I have been having very irregular periods recently, and I don't know why? Does drinking coffee cause menstrual irregularities?

Doctor's answer:

This irregular menstruation is primarily considered in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by some deficiency of qi and blood or delayed blood clots. From a Western medicine perspective, it may be due to some endocrine disorders. Generally, coffee has little relationship with menstrual irregularity, and it is best to undergo further and more thorough medical examinations at the hospital. In terms of treatment, you can also take some Chinese herbal medicines orally to regulate blood and menstruation. Please follow the doctor's advice for specific medication.
