Patient's question:
Hello! I haven't had my period for over 60 days. After checking at the hospital, the doctor prescribed three shots of progesterone to induce menstruation and said it would come within a week. It has now been a week, but it still hasn't arrived, and I've been experiencing abdominal pain every day. Should I continue waiting or try other methods of treatment?Doctor's answer:
Your condition falls under the symptoms of delayed menstruation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM believes that the symptoms are primarily caused by kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. In this case, measures to replenish qi and nourish blood can be taken to regulate the condition. It is recommended to visit the TCM department of a hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can take Chinese herbal medicine for a period of time to regulate your health.Additionally, maintaining a calm and cheerful mindset is important. You can also consume more soybeans, honey, and other foods. Pay attention to drinking soy milk regularly, as it contains phytoestrogens, which are very beneficial for women's health regulation.
