Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have had sexual activity for 4 years. My menstrual cycle has always been delayed by about a week. Sometimes it lasts for ten days or even one or two months. Last November, I had an induced abortion, after which my period was normal. However, this month it has been delayed for 20 days and has not arrived yet. Last week, I went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed that I am not pregnant. Is this considered menstrual irregularity? How can I regulate it? Thank youDoctor's answer:
There are many factors that can affect the onset of menstruation. Stress, medication, overexertion, endocrine disorders, and pregnancy can all cause the menstrual period to be delayed. Based on your situation, excluding pregnancy, it is likely that overexertion has led to endocrine disorders, resulting in menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you relax, pay attention to rest, and consider taking traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of invigorating blood circulation and replenishing blood. I recommend using Qixue He capsules, which are known as a female-specific medication with the functions of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, invigorating blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. It is very effective for symptoms of delayed menstruation. Moreover, it is a pure traditional Chinese medicine preparation, and its regulating effect is relatively significant.
