Menstruation is delayed by 6 days, and breasts are sore. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I don't know what's going on recently, I have experienced breast tenderness and pain, and my period is delayed by 6 days. What should I do about the breast tenderness and pain?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for delayed menstruation include early pregnancy, endocrine disorders, abnormalities in the endometrium and ovaries, excessive mental stress, changes in lifestyle, etc. If menstruation is delayed by seven days, it is normal. If it is delayed for more than ten days, you can use a pregnancy test kit. If pregnancy is ruled out, visit a gynecology department in a regular hospital for an ultrasound to check the results and receive symptomatic treatment accordingly, or undergo further tests such as the six sex hormone tests. Additionally, during treatment for gynecological conditions, the patient's dietary status and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
