Patient's question:
Your menstrual cycle is often irregular, sometimes coming earlier and sometimes later. This month, your period is delayed by a week and you haven't experienced any symptoms. Your husband suggested that you might be pregnant. Could you please help me understand if I am pregnant or if it's just an irregular menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
If your previous menstrual cycles have always been very regular, and if you currently experience a delay of about one week in your menstrual cycle, it is still necessary to consider the possibility of pregnancy. It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination in a timely manner. Check the specific condition of the uterine appendages to see if there is intrauterine embryonic growth and development. Monitor the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin to determine if there is a possibility of pregnancy. Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
