Will taking Chinese medicine delay menstruation?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that an early menstrual cycle in women is due to deficiency of Qi in the human body, while a delayed menstrual cycle is due to deficiency of both Qi and blood in the human body. Ancient Chinese medicine was actually afraid to regulate the body for women, because women's physical conditions are substantially different from men's. If Chinese medicine is not well mastered, it will damage its own brand. This is because women's bodies are closely related to the gain or loss of menstruation. I will not go into details here. Let's talk about the relationship between women's conditioning and menstruation. A month is divided into three stages: premenstrual period, menstrual period and postmenstrual period. Before menstruation, both nourishing yang and nourishing yin should be carried out simultaneously. During menstrual period, blood circulation and stasis should be promoted, and after menstruation, nourishing yin should be the main focus.

It is possible for female friends to delay their menstrual period by one to two days within the normal range by taking Chinese herbal medicine. This is all normal. However, many female friends have experienced a delay of more than ten days in their menstrual period, which is a serious delay in menstruation. So what are the reasons for delayed menstruation in female friends? If a female friend is pregnant, her menstrual period will stop. If a female friend happens to be in the childbearing period and has had sex before and has the possibility of pregnancy, then a basic judgment needs to be made for delayed menstruation. You can use pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to know whether you are pregnant.

Will drinking Chinese medicine affect delayed menstruation? Female friends may experience some situations that are different from normal when drinking Chinese medicine. Sometimes the menstrual period will be delayed, but this is normal. Some Chinese herbal medicines have some effects of suppressing blood circulation in the body. For example, some medicines with blood-activating ingredients may delay the menstrual period of female friends. As long as the delay does not exceed ten days, it is all normal and will not harm the body.

Menstrual pain and delayed menstruation are believed to be related to Yueyueshu. The problem is not menstrual pain, but deficiency of Qi and blood. The total blood volume in the human body is low, so menstruation is delayed. Blood and Qi should be replenished. When the total blood volume in the human body is sufficient, there will naturally be no menstrual pain, and the menstrual period will be normal.
