Why is there occasional lower back and lower abdomen discomfort when menstruation is delayed?

Patient's question:

Menstruation is delayed by more than a week, and the check did not show pregnancy. The discharge is also considered normal, just occasional lower back and lower abdominal discomfort. The menstrual period was on the 8th, and the birth control pill was stopped last month.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to a deficiency of yang and cold in the menstrual cycle, insufficient nourishment from blood deficiency, and a lack of qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians. After menstruation, the sea of blood becomes empty, and combined with qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate, leading to amenorrhea. The prescription should include Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate the menstrual cycle; safflower, ligusticum, curcuma, and safflower to activate blood circulation. 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 B examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
