Patient's question:
I had a normal period last month. I haven't had any sexual activity this month, but my period is delayed by 5 days. I went swimming once and it was cold water. Today, I don't know why I feel a bit nauseous, and my sleep quality has been very poor lately, causing frequent dizziness and dark vision. Could it be pregnancy or a health condition causing the delay in my period?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to visit the endocrinology department for examination of the six sex hormone levels. You can also try taking Chinese herbal medicine for regulating endocrine disorders, such as motherwort, angelica sinensis, and Codonopsis pilosula, etc. At the same time, it is advised to maintain good rest, avoid too stimulating foods, and eat more light and simple foods. Avoid cold and raw foods, and pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining cleanliness.
