What are the possible reasons for delayed menstruation?

Patient's question:

Last month my period arrived on the 16th, and then it came again on the 3rd of last month. Today is November 21st, and I still haven't gotten my period. I've used a lot of pregnancy tests, all with different brands, and they all show negative. But I just haven't gotten my period. On November 13th, I also had an ultrasound at the hospital, and the endometrial wall was measured at 1.2 mm. Is it about to come? I've been drinking a decoction of brown sugar, jujubes, and longans every day. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you go to a formal specialized hospital for a blood test to check hCG one week after your period is delayed or 10 days after intercourse, and combine it with an ultrasound examination to determine if you are pregnant. After ruling out pregnancy, you may consider that irregular menstruation is caused by factors such as mental tension, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's health but may also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
