Patient's question:
In the past two or three months, my period has always been delayed by one or two weeks. There is also menstrual pain. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation delay is primarily considered due to: 1. Pregnancy, 2. The menstrual cycle is generally 28–30 days. Being or delayed by about 7 days is still within the normal range. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. Psychological factors such as stress, environmental changes, and some endocrine disorders can all cause menstruation delay. If menstruation is delayed only occasionally 1—2 times without other symptoms, it is not considered menstrual irregularity. When the menstrual cycle interval extends to more than 35 days, it is referred to as menstrual oligomenorrhea. If menstruation stops for more than 3 menstrual cycles, it is called amenorrhea. After amenorrhea, ovulation may not occur, which can lead to issues such as osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia. In terms of treatment, it is recommended to take Siyan Jincui'an to alleviate menstrual irregularity. Take 2 bags daily, with no side effects, and significant changes can be felt within about 7 days.
