Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for a long time, and the flow is not very heavy. Each period lasts for a relatively long time. I used to take Danggui Pills and Wuji Baifeng Pills, which helped, but symptoms returned when I stopped taking them. This time, I haven't had my period since October 27th. I had sexual activity in late August but used post-coital contraception. My periods were normal in August and September, and early pregnancy tests were negative. Currently, I don't have any discomfort. What could be the issue, and how can it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be due to menstrual irregularity and endocrine disorders, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment, while avoiding exposure to wind and cold. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation, such as psychological factors like stress, pressure, and environmental changes, as well as certain diseases that affect the endocrine system. All of these can cause delayed menstruation. If the delay occurs only occasionally (1–2 times) and without other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall under the category of menstrual disorders.
