Patient's question:
I had my period on October 19th and it ended on the 26th. Then on November 5th, I had another period with very little flow, which lasted only 2 days. It's now December 1st, and I haven't had my period yet. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. Could I have an ectopic pregnancy, or is it just a gynecological issue?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation delayed by ten days, if pregnancy is ruled out. Then your menstruation is abnormal. Normal menstruation is considered normal if it is delayed or advanced by within 7 days. If the duration is too long, it indicates menstrual irregularity.In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), menstrual irregularity is often believed to be related to insufficient qi and blood. The delay in menstruation is primarily due to the inability of menstrual blood to fully fill the uterine cavity, leading to the delay.
If you are not pregnant, it is recommended to appropriately tonify qi and blood. You can take Zhì Qì Hé Jiāonáng (Qi and Blood Harmony Capsules) to regulate your condition. This medicine is a pure Chinese herbal formula that tonifies qi and nourishes blood, and it has a significant therapeutic effect on symptoms of qi and blood deficiency and menstrual disorders.
