Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had my period on November 16, and it lasted for 5.6 days before stopping. Then, around the 30th, my period came again, and it was irregular until December 15th before finally stopping. I visited a doctor in the middle, who said it might be uterine bleeding and prescribed medication for me. By the end of the month, my period still hadn’t arrived. I took pregnancy tests three times: the first and third showed negative results, while the second had two red lines that seemed to be there but also seemed not to be. The other day, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound and blood tests, but nothing showed up. Yet, to this day, my period still hasn’t arrived, and there are no signs of it coming either. I’m so scared that I might be pregnant—how else would my period not have arrived? An eager girl waiting for a reply, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Abnormal emotions can cause menstrual disorders. Abnormal emotions, such as long-term mental suppression, mental tension, or severe mental stress and psychological trauma, can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed after the hormones secreted by the ovaries act on the endometrium. The secretion of hormones by the ovaries is controlled by hormones released by the pituitary and hypothalamus. Therefore, whether the function of the ovaries, pituitary, or hypothalamus is abnormal, it will affect menstruation.
