Patient's question:
Had two children, everything was normal. Two months after the New Year in 2013, my period didn't come. The previous two times, it lasted only two days and then stopped. I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, had some tests, and the doctor said it was okay. After feeling my pulse, he prescribed some herbal medicine. I took it once, and my period came. But the second time, it didn't come again. I took the same medicine again, and it came. Now, it's the third time it hasn't come. What should I do? Do I need to keep taking it?Doctor's answer:
