Patient's question:
I am 16 years old. Previously, my menstrual flow was small, and I usually had my period only once every three months. After coming a few times, it stopped now. It has been six months since my last period. During, the doctor kept saying I was malnourished. Could this be the reason for my amenorrhea?????? Is it true that not having a period means I am not ovulating?????? Could I be infertile? I am very worried and hope the doctor can give me an answer.Doctor's answer:
Yes. Malnutrition can lead to a deficiency of qi and blood in the body, which in turn can cause delayed menstruation. The fundamental cause of delayed menstruation is a deficiency of qi and blood, making it impossible for the uterine cavity to fill normally and promptly. Therefore, the treatment principle should focus on nourishing qi and blood. The Qi and Blood Capsules would be a good match for your symptoms. It is recommended that you consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, along with a moderate amount of high-quality proteins such as meat, fish, and milk. Taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement would also be beneficial.
