What should I do if my period is a week late and hasn't arrived yet?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? If my period is a week late and hasn't arrived yet, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of menstrual disorders can be divided into two major categories:
1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction-induced: Primarily due to instability or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which is known as menstrual disorders.
2. Organic lesions or drug-induced.
Clinically, diagnosing neuroendocrine dysfunction-related menstrual disorders requires excluding the above various organic causes.
The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's lives but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary regulation should be paid attention to—opt for light, easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
