What is the reason for the delayed menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I started my period on January 13th and it ended on the 19th. It hasn't come yet, and for the past two or three days, I've had a steady pain in my abdomen.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to empty cold menorrhea or delayed menstruation caused by blood deficiency and insufficient nourishment. The deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians leads to emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation. Combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate, which triggers menorrhea. The prescription uses Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; safflower, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Curcuma zedoaria, and Cyperus rotundus to activate blood. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a leukorrhea examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
