What I need help with:
I want to know what's going on. Is there a problem? Could it affect my fertility?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on what you've described, a delayed menstrual period definitely affects fertility. This is a symptom of endocrine imbalance and blood deficiency. Women are fundamentally based on "blood," and menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation are all closely related to "blood vitality." If the menstrual flow is insufficient and not properly regulated in time, it may lead to infertility in women. Prolonged sitting or standing, coupled with a lack of exercise in daily life, can also cause poor blood circulation, leading to blood stagnation and a decline in blood vitality, which may trigger delayed menstruation and reduced flow.Issues with menstruation caused by a decline in "blood vitality" not only accelerate a woman's aging but may also affect the probability of conception. A mother's blood quality directly determines the child's innate quality. It is recommended to enhance blood vitality by focusing on "regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, replenishing blood, and nourishing blood." In terms of medication, Huiren Nüjin Capsules can be a suitable choice.
