Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please explain what could be causing my period to be delayed by more than 10 days?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be a manifestation of endocrine disorder leading to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to visit a gynecologist for examination and treatment. Medicinal herbs should be prescribed based on syndrome differentiation for regulation, and progesterone injections may be administered. Maintain a relaxed mood.Three months before pregnancy and during the first three months of pregnancy, it is important to take folic acid tablets daily to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume various meats in moderation. Avoid foods that may induce uterine contractions, such as longans, hawthorns, and crabs. Rest well, avoid staying up late, and do not lift heavy objects.
