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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can taking folic acid delay my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, folic acid does not affect the menstrual cycle. Generally, a delay or advancement of seven days in the menstrual period is considered normal. Factors such as environmental changes, emotional fluctuations, and stress from study or work can all cause menstrual delays. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
