When facing delayed menstruation, the choice of regulating medications should be based on individual symptoms and underlying causes. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Yimucao Granules (Leonurus granules) and Danggui Pills are commonly used to regulate menstrual cycles due to their effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving menstrual pain. The optimal treatment plan should be tailored according to specific causes, such as hormonal imbalances or emotional stress. It is recommended to first undergo necessary medical evaluations, including hormone level testing and ultrasound examinations, to determine the cause of menstrual delay. For delayed periods caused by endocrine disorders, doctors may recommend hormonal medications for regulation. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, reducing stress, eating a balanced diet, and engaging in moderate exercise play important roles in menstrual regulation. If menstrual irregularities persist, regular follow-ups are advised to timely adjust the treatment plan.
