What should I do if my period is delayed for half a month?

Female friends are more panicked when their menstruation is delayed, because if they have had sex, it means they are pregnant. In addition, it means that there is something wrong with their body that causes their menstruation to be delayed for half a month. Under normal circumstances, menstruation can be delayed for 7 days. When menstruation is delayed, you need to check your body to find out what the cause is and then prescribe the right medicine.

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly regulates through three aspects:

Liver: Regulating the liver is to make the Qi and blood flow smoothly. When women's Qi and blood flow smoothly, menstrual blood will not be retained in the body.

Kidney: Menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so if you want to fundamentally solve this problem, you must first take good care of your kidneys. Only by activating the kidneys can you make menstruation smooth.

Spleen: The main function of the spleen and stomach is to replenish blood. Regulating the spleen and stomach can replenish the blood lost by the body.
