What should I do if my period is delayed every month?

Patient's question:

I have never had my period come earlier. Previously, I had a medication-induced abortion followed by a uterine curettage. One month after the surgery, my period arrived. For the following few months, it came every 30 days, not a day off. Later, it started to delay, at least by a week. The second day the flow was normal, but starting from the third and fourth days, there was only a little (the flow has always been light). The color was also very light. If I count, I only had ten periods in the past year.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to empty cold menorrhea or delayed menstruation caused by empty cold, insufficient nourishment from blood deficiency, and a deficiency of Qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians. After menstruation, the blood sea becomes empty, and combined with Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, there is a lack of power to circulate, leading to menorrhea. 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. It is recommended to use modified Weng Jing Decoction for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
