Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, just got married, and don't plan to have children for now, so I have a coil. Please ask: if my period is delayed by eight days with the coil, could it be pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Using an IUD for contraception while breastfeeding, your period is now delayed by eight days. The IUD only reduces the chance of pregnancy but does not guarantee it won't happen. Since you have had sexual activity and your period is delayed for such a long time, it's recommended to take a urine HCG test to check if you are pregnant. If it's not pregnancy, you can focus on careful observation. If it is pregnancy, it's advised to have the IUD removed and consider a miscarriage. Additionally, in daily life, the patient should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to stay fit, and keep a positive mood. Good lifestyle habits also help in preventing diseases.
