Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I usually have very regular periods, and my last one was on October 6th. But since then, I haven't had my period, and I've also tested with pregnancy strips, which showed I'm not pregnant. Could you please tell me what might be causing this? Additionally, in mid-October, I experienced some burning and itching in my external genital area for two or three days, which was resolved with Daktarine suppositories. I hope the doctor can give me a prompt reply. Thank you!Current general condition: My body is in good health, and I've also gone to the hospital for the burning and itching in my external genital area, but there were no issues found. Due to work, I commute to and from my office for three hours each day. Could this be affecting my endocrine system?
Doctor's answer:
Your situation falls under menstrual delay, which is a type of menstrual irregularity. Most menstrual irregularities are related to endocrine disorders and a deficiency of qi and blood in the body. You can take Qixue He capsules orally to regulate it. Based on the date of your last menstrual period, stop taking the medication once your period starts, and continue taking it after your period ends. Continue regulating for 2-3 menstrual cycles, and your menstrual cycle will return to normal. In daily life, pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, avoid overexertion, and do not eat cold or raw foods.
