Patient's question:
A 28-year-old woman had her period on the 14th of last month. It has been delayed this month, and it hasn't arrived yet on the 8th day. In the past few days, her leukorrhea has increased. There was a little blood in her underwear last night and today. She hasn't used a pregnancy test yet. What should she do if her period is delayed by eight days and her leukorrhea increases?Doctor's answer:
You've been delayed by eight days. You should get a blood test done. If you've had sexual activity, you must use a pregnancy test kit. If pregnancy is ruled out, you can just wait patiently for your period to arrive. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up now, as you have a very small amount of bleeding. If pregnancy is ruled out, it might be your period. However, if it is pregnancy, this bleeding is not normal. Be aware that it could be abnormal bleeding after pregnancy.
