What should I do if I miss my period?

Amenorrhea, also known as the absence of menstruation, refers to the interruption of a woman's menstrual cycle for more than three months. It may be caused by various factors, including but not limited to physiological, psychological, hormonal, nutritional, disease-related, or medication-related factors.

Recommendations for women experiencing amenorrhea:

1. Consult a doctor: Seek timely medical attention and undergo comprehensive physical examinations and necessary laboratory tests to determine the specific cause of amenorrhea. These may include blood tests, endocrine tests, and ultrasound examinations.

2. Adjust lifestyle: Maintain healthy habits such as regular meals, moderate exercise, sufficient sleep, and stress reduction, which can help restore a normal menstrual cycle.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): TCM treatment for amenorrhea focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment, aiming to harmonize organ functions and balance Yin and Yang to cure amenorrhea.

4. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, medications may be used to restore menstruation. For example, estrogen and progesterone supplements can help regulate the menstrual cycle. Women desiring pregnancy may also use ovulation-stimulating drugs.

5. Surgical treatment: If amenorrhea is caused by tumors or genital tract abnormalities, surgical treatment may be required to remove the tumor or correct the abnormality.

Medication should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician.
