Patient's question:
My period usually comes at the beginning of each month, but this month it was delayed by more than 10 days. When it finally arrived, the amount was very little, which made me quite worried. I suspect something might be wrong with my body. Could the delayed period and the low flow be an early miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Delayed menstruation accompanied by reduced menstrual flow could indicate pregnancy. It is recommended to take a early pregnancy test to check if it is normal. Some people may experience very minimal menstrual flow in the early stages of pregnancy, which is referred to as pseudomenorrhea. The menstrual flow is significantly lower than normal, and the duration is also very short. During this period, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, use warm water to clean the external genitalia, and change underwear promptly.
