Patient's question:
I am 17 years old and currently in my second year of high school. I had my first period at 14, and according to expectations, it should have become regular by now. However, before the high school entrance exam in my third year of middle school, my period was delayed due to excessive stress. After taking Chinese medicine for regulation, it improved. Now, it's happening again. Usually, my period comes every 37-38 days, but I haven't had it for two months now. I have taken 3 patches of Chinese medicine as prescribed by the doctor and have avoided pears, grapefruits, chrysanthemums, cold drinks, and ice cream. My diet is very healthy, and I eat on time most days. I don't like spicy food and haven't been deliberately restricting my diet. Due to the delayed period, I have been very irritable every day. Besides late sleep, I don't have any other bad habits. I exercise every week, but my hair is still falling out. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
