Patient's question:
A 23-year-old woman has been experiencing frequent flatulence with a persistent gas buildup in her stomach. She often passes gas from her abdomen and also feels discomfort in her waist. Just now, she had a slight sensation of stomach pain. Last month, she had unprotected sex during her risky period, about nine days ago. I used a pregnancy test kit and it was negative. Now her period is delayed by four days. Is she pregnant?Doctor's answer:
From your description, this is not a sign of pregnancy. It is not possible to detect it on the 9th day after intercourse. If your period is delayed and hasn't arrived for less than a month, you should get tested. However, since your period is delayed, it is recommended to use a morning urine test 40 days after intercourse. It is also suggested to maintain a positive mood and a regular lifestyle. The best option is to have a blood test to check for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), as this is currently the most accurate method of testing.
