Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my period was delayed by over ten days this month, and I always had lower abdominal pain during my period. I've never felt this way before when I had my period. Could you please help me understand if this is considered menstrual irregularity? Do I need to take any medication to regulate it? Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Currently 31 years old, this month's period arrived more than ten days late, and during the period, there was some lower abdominal pain. This situation may be related to recent emotional distress, high stress, a sudden cold, or consuming cold and raw food. Since it has arrived, we should wait and see for now, pay attention to rest and avoid cold exposure, use a hot water bag to warm the lower abdomen, or drink some brown sugar ginger tea. Avoid overtime work and continue to monitor the next menstrual cycle. If it returns to normal, no medication is needed for regulation. If it still arrives more than ten days late, then consider taking oral medication for period regulation.
