Patient's question:
Menstruation delayed by twelve days, mild abdominal pain, tested and not pregnant, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
This is menstrual irregularity, and delayed menstruation is generally caused by reasons such as insufficient qi and blood or weak kidney qi. Oral traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Xiaoyao Pill or Guipi Pill can be taken for regulation. It is recommended to consume more blood-nourishing foods, such as longan, jujubes, and eel glue, etc. During menstruation, drinking brown sugar water can help alleviate symptoms.The occurrence of menstrual irregularity not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life.
