Patient's question:
Gender: FemaleAge: 24
Hello. I took emergency contraception twice in November... Had intercourse around December 23rd. Took emergency contraception within 24 hours. My period should usually come on the 7th or 8th of each month... But it hasn't arrived yet. What could be the reason?.. And I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately. First follow-up question: I took three or four emergency contraceptives last year... Second follow-up question: But I haven't been able to go to the hospital or buy pregnancy tests recently. Can I wait a bit longer? Or should I wait until after the Spring Festival to go back north?
Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the occurrence of amenorrhea is caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm-dampness obstruction, and liver-kidney deficiency. It can be regulated using Qi and Blood Harmony Capsules. Once the menstrual cycle returns to normal and qi and blood are abundant, it will not affect pregnancy.
