Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What could be the reason for my delayed period?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be due to a deficiency of yang and cold closure of menstruation 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, which impairs blood circulation and triggers closure of menstruation. The prescription should include 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 circulation. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
