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. Could you please explain what happens if menstruation doesn't arrive after 15 days?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be due to a deficiency of yang and cold closure of menstruation or delayed menstruation caused by blood deficiency and insufficient nourishment. The deficiency of qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians leads to emptiness of the blood sea after menstruation, combined with qi deficiency and blood stagnation, which hinders blood circulation and results in closure of menstruation. The formula 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 physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a leukorrhea examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Daily, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
