Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you first rule out external factors affecting your menstrual cycle. You can wait for a while and observe.

Avoid extreme dieting, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Pay attention to your dietary structure, consuming more lean meat, grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and calcium-rich foods. Avoid overeating cold and raw foods. Maintain a good mood. Strengthen your exercise to improve your physical fitness.
