Patient's question:
This month, my period was delayed by more than 10 days before it arrived. Last night, when I had sex with my husband, it was a bit more intense than usual, and my period came three days later. Moreover, my abdomen was particularly painful. Could you please help me determine whether it was a miscarriage or just my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, a delayed menstrual period should raise suspicion of pregnancy, but this alone cannot confirm it. Especially in your case, with a 10-day delay in menstruation and intense masturbation followed by bleeding similar to menstruation, it is difficult to confirm whether it is a miscarriage or a normal menstrual period.Advice: It is best for you to go to the hospital as soon as possible to have your blood hCG level tested. If this value is greater than 10, it proves it is a miscarriage. If the value is below 5, it proves it is a normal menstrual period. Finally, in daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from the illness.
