Patient's question:
Hello Dr. Li, I would like to ask if I experienced my period after 52 days last month, and it is now delayed by 5 or 6 days this month without coming (not pregnant). Does this count as irregular menstruation? What kind of medication should I take? How many days should I stop taking the medication before getting pregnant? Are there any bad side effects? Also, there is an important point: I still have no discharge!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual delay is mainly caused by an imbalance of qi and blood. Generally, issues like sudden exposure to cold, staying up late, dietary restriction, emotional fluctuations, and high work-life stress can all lead to delayed menstruation. If the delay is too long and occurs every time, it is important to seek timely treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
