Patient's question:
I usually have very regular periods, but this month my period has been delayed by 20 days and still hasn't arrived. I took Wuji Baifeng Pill, along with Xiaoyao Wan, which are traditional Chinese medicine herbs used to regulate periods. However, it hasn't arrived yet, and I'm quite worried. What should I do if my period is delayed by 20 days and I have irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
A delay of 20 days in menstruation is not necessarily caused by menstrual disorders; it could also be due to pregnancy or gynecological conditions. Since the medication you have taken for regulating your menstrual cycle has not been effective, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause before proceeding with treatment. Additionally, such conditions are often brought on by neglecting personal hygiene, irregular living habits, frequent overtime, and other factors. It is crucial to seek treatment as early as possible.
