Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year, and my period has been delayed by five or six days this month. I am very worried because two days ago, my husband and I had sex without using any protection, and I am afraid of getting pregnant. Am I pregnant? I want to ask: Is it irregular menstruation or an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is usually regular, it's best to first use a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant, or go to the hospital for a blood test to check hCG levels. Based on the test results, treatment can be administered accordingly. If pregnancy is ruled out, it is likely related to your work or mood. Maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and take digestive vitamins. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For gynecological patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it's important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. It is also essential to be reminded to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
