Patient's question:
Every month my period is delayed by one week, but this time it has been delayed by more than ten days and hasn't arrived yet. Some people say it's related to emotional influences. I'm very worried now, and I've taken Black-Bone Chicken and Dang Gui Pills. I don't know if it's necessary to go to the hospital for treatment. (I'm not pregnant)Doctor's answer:
Delayed by a few days, I suggest you buy a pregnancy test kit to check if you are pregnant first. It's best to have a urine test at the hospital. If it's a problem related to mental stress, you need to adjust your lifestyle. If it's a hormone issue, traditional Chinese medicine regulation might be necessary. The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the skin of the perineum clean.
