Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been taking birth control pills for 3 years and have continued to do so. In March of this year, I stopped taking them, and my period was delayed. The period that came on June 18th did not end until early mid-July. The doctor said my endocrine system is out of balance and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication, Sanqi Xueshangning, and ethinyl estradiol. I also received three days of progesterone injections. On July 17th, which was the second day of taking the medication, it ended.In mid-August, it came again. It ended in one week, which is still normal. This time in September, it was delayed until October 4th and did not end until October 15th. It has not come yet as of December. During this period, there were two instances where I noticed blood, but after observing for two days, it did not arrive. I don’t know what to do. It’s very embarrassing.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description of your situation, you may consider taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. It is recommended that you consult a clinical TCM practitioner who can prescribe a herbal formula tailored to your condition.If your menstruation suddenly stops during your period, it may be related to overexertion, exposure to cold, or emotional distress. It is advisable to take some blood-activating and period-regulating herbs to help regulate your cycle. You can try taking motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) or a decoction of brown sugar and safflower to help. If your menstruation suddenly stops, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to check if you have already gone through menopause. You can also use Premarin and progesterone for regulation.
