Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have an ovarian cyst on the left side and plan to have surgery after my period. However, since developing the ovarian cyst, my period has been irregular. My last period was on 10-26, and on 11-24, I took three days of progesterone. But a week has passed, and my period still hasn't arrived. Do I still need treatment? Urgent.Current general condition: Low-grade fever, sore throat.
Doctor's answer:
A menstrual cycle that is 3-5 days early or delayed is considered a normal phenomenon. If the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 7 days, there are two possible reasons to consider: one is the possibility of pregnancy, as pregnancy can cause a missed period, and the other is menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine disorders. It is recommended to visit a hospital in time to check blood HCG levels to rule out pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, you can have an ultrasound and a six-hormone test to determine the cause. Once pregnancy is ruled out, you can take herbal supplements such as Black-Bone Chicken White Phoenix Pills, Angelica Sinensis Regulation Capsules, and Regulation Pills to regulate your menstrual cycle. Daily life should be regular, with adequate rest and avoiding overexertion. It is advisable to consume fresh vegetables and calcium-rich foods, maintain a positive mood, and engage in regular exercise. Wishing you good health.
