Patient's question:
Medical Description: On July 30th, I drank too much alcohol and vomited bile. The next day, I had a little bleeding down there. My period, which was supposed to come on the 5th of July, hasn't arrived yet. It's been from August 5th to August 13th now. I've taken pregnancy tests three times, and all of them showed negative, meaning I'm not pregnant. I don't know what's going on and why it hasn't come yet?Past Treatment and Effects: In February, I had a medication-induced abortion, but it wasn't complete. In March, I had a D&C, and later tests showed no inflammation—everything was completely healthy. I don't know if it affected anything.
What Help I'm Looking For: I just want to know what's really going on?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstruation is affected by many factors, such as the environment, diet, endocrine, etc. Your condition is likely caused by alcohol-induced menstrual interruption. You should drink more ginger and brown sugar tea and consume plenty of warm water. In the future, it is important to pay attention not to eat cold, spicy, or other irritating foods during menstruation, especially not to drink alcohol. This condition may be due to blood stasis, and you can take Si Wu Decoction or Xue Fu Zhu Yu Decoction to promote blood circulation and resolve stasis. Avoid excessive consumption of cold and cool foods. Include more stress-reducing dishes in your diet, such as bananas, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. Be cautious of cold and dampness, avoid getting soaked in the rain, drinking cold beverages, and especially prevent your lower body from getting cold. Pay attention to keeping warm.
