Why didn't my period come on the day it was supposed to?

Patient's question:

Your period was supposed to come on the day it didn't, and instead, brown discharge appeared. It lasted for ten days, followed by a small amount of blood again. You're experiencing lower back pain and overall weakness. Could this be a pregnancy miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, dark-colored menstruation usually indicates blood stasis, which is typically caused by cold congelation and qi stagnation leading to poor blood flow. It is recommended to use Motherwort Paste to promote blood circulation and treat the condition. You may also consider moxibustion on acupoints such as Guanyuan (CV4), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Taichong (LR3). The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of these conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
