Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello, I had a cesarean section. My last menstrual period was on the 27th of last month, and it has been 10 days already. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Before I got married, my periods sometimes lasted for 4-5 days, but not this long. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual cycle frequently delays by more than 7 days, or even occurs every 40 to 50 days, which is also known as "menstrual delay." This symptom is primarily caused by blood deficiency leading to delayed menstruation. Patients may experience delayed menstruation, reduced volume with pale color, empty and painful lower abdomen, weakness and fatigue, pale complexion, dizziness and fatigue, palpitations and poor sleep, sore muscles and bones, dry skin, pale tongue with little coating.
