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. Could you please tell me what could cause a six-day delay in my period?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency-cold dysmenorrhea 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, there is a lack of power to circulate, which triggers amenorrhea. 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 also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
