Patient's question:
Had two children, everything was normal. Then for two months after the New Year in 2013, my period didn't come. The previous two times, it lasted only two days and stopped. I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, did some tests, and the doctor said it was okay. After feeling my pulse, he prescribed some herbal medicine. I took it once, and my period came. But the second time, it didn't come again. I took the same medicine again, and it came. Now it's the third time, and it hasn't come yet. What should I do? Do I need to keep taking it?Doctor's answer:
