Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is usually delayed by about one week each month. This month, it's been delayed by 12 days. The past two days, when I've been using the restroom, there's been a bit of blood, but it stops after a while. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires an ultrasound and a check of the six sex hormones to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the primary disease, supplemented appropriately with some traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
