Desired Help: The patient wants to know the cause of the condition and whether it is serious, so they can receive timely treatment.
Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is regulated by the female nervous endocrine system to maintain a regular cycle. The endocrine condition may be influenced by factors such as the environment, emotions, medications, and psychological stress. Occasionally, a delay in menstruation is normal, but if it is delayed for more than 7 days for three consecutive cycles, it is considered abnormal. It is recommended to take blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling medications to promote the onset of menstruation. If the effect is not satisfactory, it is advisable to undergo an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium and determine whether menstruation should occur. Additionally, if menstruation has not arrived after more than half a month without pregnancy, this may be considered menstrual irregularity, likely related to endocrine dysfunction. It is recommended that patients take Chinese herbal medicine based on their specific condition for regulation.
