Delayed menstruation with green discharge

Delayed menstruation is a problem that many women have encountered. Experts point out that, generally speaking, there are two main reasons for delayed menstruation. One reason is pregnancy, and the other reason is delayed menstruation caused by irregular menstruation. Generally speaking, the normal menstrual cycle is 28-35 days. A delay of about 7 days is still within the normal range. If menstruation has not come for more than 14 days, women can use a test strip to test whether they are pregnant. If the test shows no pregnancy, women should pay attention at this time.

My period is delayed and I have green discharge

The most common reason for a delayed menstrual cycle after intercourse is pregnancy. It is recommended to use an early pregnancy test strip to test fifteen days after intercourse. If there is green purulent secretion in the vagina, the possibility of vaginitis is relatively high, and you need to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and routine leucorrhea examination to confirm the diagnosis based on the examination results.

Reasons for delayed menstruation

According to Chinese medicine, the causes of irregular menstruation are both deficiency and excess. Excessive symptoms are mostly due to blood stasis blocking Chong and Ren meridians, preventing new blood from returning to the meridians; deficiency symptoms are mostly due to yin deficiency and excessive fire, which shakes the blood sea and leads to prolonged menstruation. Menstrual disorders are usually caused by dysfunction of the internal organs, imbalance of blood and qi, or deficiency of both qi and blood.

1. Qi deficiency and blood stasis: If a woman is usually depressed, it will lead to Qi deficiency and blood stasis over time. Or women may be affected by dampness during their menstrual period or after giving birth, which can block the circulation of blood and qi and cause blood stasis. Because blood stasis blocks the uterine vessels, new blood cannot return to the menstruation, resulting in continuous delay of menstruation.

2. Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire: If a woman has a Yin deficiency constitution, or has been suffering from long-term illness that has damaged her Yin fluid, given birth too many times, or had excessive sexual intercourse, her body will suffer from Yin and blood depletion. Yin deficiency and excessive fire cause blood to be restless, and menstruation cannot function normally, resulting in prolonged menstruation.

Blood and Qi imbalance or Qi and blood deficiency can cause menstrual disorders

Women with menstrual disorders usually have changes in lip color or complexion. Traditional Chinese medicine can find the cause of menstrual disorders based on the changes in blood and qi on the face. According to work experience, the complexion of women with menstrual disorders generally has the following changes:

1. The face is faintly pale, with blue veins faintly visible on the cheeks and nose, dark lips and dark eye sockets: this is common in women who are upset and easily angered.

2. Dull complexion and purple lips: common in women with blood bruises in the body.

3. Dark yellow or pale and swollen face, and light-colored lips: common in women with spleen and qi deficiency.

4. Oily face and small pimples: common in women with cold and dampness in the body.

5. Pale face as if powdered, red cheekbones as if with eye shadow, red lips, and weak constitution: commonly seen in women with both Qi and Yin deficiency.
