Can you take medicine if you haven't had your period for a month?

Patient's question:

I didn't get my period last month, and I've been having some stomach pain this month but it hasn't arrived. Recently, I've been experiencing severe hair loss, poor complexion, and have started getting acne. I want to try some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you haven't had your period for the past month. If you have a boyfriend and have had sexual intercourse, you can check your blood hCG to rule out pregnancy. If you haven't had intercourse, it could be irregular menstruation, possibly caused by endocrine disorders. Therefore, you have acne on your face. You can have an ultrasound examination of the endometrium and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, on the 2-4th day of your next period, you should have your hormone levels checked on an empty stomach to identify the cause.
