Patient's question:
I came to China in November. My period was supposed to come on November 18th, but it hasn't arrived yet. I have taken three pregnancy tests and they were all negative. However, I took two doses of Yuting in November. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency-cold amenorrhea 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, there is a lack of power to circulate, which triggers amenorrhea. The formula uses Angelica sinensis, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia to nourish blood and regulate menstruation; while Danggui, Chuanxiong, zedoary, andangelica costus to activate blood. It is recommended to treat with modified Weng Jing Decoction. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of contraception will have some impact on the patient. Therefore, the patient should pay attention to self-care. For contraception patients, self-care should be noted, such as a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
