Introduction
Long-term improper diet may lead to thinning of the endometrium, which is the primary site shed during menstruation. If the endometrium becomes too thin, it can affect the normal onset of menstruation. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and ensure sufficient nutrient intake to meet the body's needs. Excessive fatigue may disrupt the function of the body's endocrine system, affecting the normal secretion of hormones.

Generally, the absence of menstruation for a month may be caused by improper diet, excessive fatigue, high mental stress, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other factors. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment. Specific causes are analyzed as follows:

1. Improper diet: Long-term consumption of spicy, raw, or cold foods such as chili peppers and hot pot can irritate the body, causing fluctuations in hormone levels and disrupting normal menstrual cycles. It is recommended to maintain a balanced and light diet to alleviate these effects.

2. Excessive fatigue: Prolonged physical exhaustion may disrupt the body's endocrine system, affecting the normal secretion and metabolism of hormones, thereby interfering with the menstrual cycle. Adequate rest and sufficient sleep are advised.

3. High mental stress: Significant psychological stress can impair the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to hormonal imbalances that affect both menstrual cycle and flow. Relaxation techniques are recommended, and if necessary, consultation with a mental health professional to maintain emotional well-being.

4. Endometritis: Inflammatory stimulation may damage the endometrium and impair its normal function, resulting in menstrual irregularities. Treatment should follow medical advice, including medications such as Fule Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, and Tinidazole Capsules.

5. Pelvic inflammatory disease: Inflammation from pelvic inflammatory disease may disrupt hormonal balance and impair ovarian function, leading to menstrual abnormalities. Medications such as Fuyankang Capsules, Gongxuening Capsules, and Gongyanping Tablets may be used under a doctor’s guidance.

It is important to pay attention to daily self-care. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive emotional state plays a crucial role in both preventing and managing menstrual disorders.

When is the best time to have moxibustion after menstruation ends?
You can perform moxibustion 3 days after menstruation ends. At this time, the endometrium has mostly healed, so the thermal stimulation from moxibustion will not cause abnormal bleeding, and it avoids irritating the reproductive system before it has fully recovered. If discomfort such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs after moxibustion, stop immediately and seek medical attention promptly. Moxibustion has the effects of warming the meridians, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. When menstruation has just ended,

Can I eat bird's nest during my menstrual period, and why?
Bird's nest is rich in high-quality protein, amino acids, and other nutrients. For women with balanced or slightly deficient constitutions, consuming bird's nest during menstruation can help replenish essential nutrients, alleviate menstrual fatigue and weakness, and, due to its mild nature, moderate consumption will not significantly affect the menstrual cycle. However, for women with a heat-prone constitution, eating bird's nest during menstruation may exacerbate internal heat, leading to symptoms such as dry mouth and sore throat.
