Is it pregnancy or menstrual irregularity?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I've been wondering lately, is it because I'm pregnant or if my menstrual cycle is off. My period hasn't come for over two months. I want to know what the reason is. Is it pregnancy or an irregular menstrual cycle?

Doctor's answer:

Because the main symptom of pregnancy is the recurrence of a missed menstrual period, so now the recurrence of not having a menstrual period for two and a half months should be considered first as a cause of pregnancy. However, it is not ruled out as a manifestation of menstrual irregularity. Therefore, in this stage, it is generally necessary to undergo a thorough examination in the hospital. Blood hCG tests can be conducted, combined with a detailed ultrasound examination, to further confirm whether pregnancy is the cause. If it is not due to pregnancy, it is necessary to conduct a test for six sex hormones, and at the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, treatment for regulating the menstrual cycle should be administered.
