Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do if my period hasn't come for nine months?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to a deficiency-cold closure of menstruation or a delayed menstruation caused by deficiency-cold. Insufficient nourishment due to blood deficiency, deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians, emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation, combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, leading to poor circulation and resulting in closure of menstruation. The prescription should include Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; safflower, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Curcuma zedoaria, and Cyperus rotundus to activate blood circulation. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
