Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description of symptoms, I mainly consider that the delay in your menstrual period is caused by endocrine disorders and functional disturbances. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up, especially for the six tests of sex hormones. After identifying the specific cause, symptomatic treatment can be administered. You can also have an ultrasound examination. Pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. You can have sex hormone tests, use progesterone, and take some traditional Chinese medicine.
