Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods. On the first day of my period, my stomach hurts very badly, and I need to take pain medication. In the past year, my periods have been relatively on time each month, usually delayed by about 5-6 days. But this time, it has been delayed by 10 days and has not arrived yet. I am not pregnant.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for menstrual disorders, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause menstrual disorders.Treatment for menstrual disorders first requires an ultrasound and a check of the six sex hormones to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the primary disease, with appropriate use of Chinese herbal medicine to regulate the menstrual cycle. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the menstrual period.
