Patient's question:
The last menstrual period started on January 6th and was completely clean by January 11th. Then, around January 31st and the 1st, there was a lot of white discharge with long streaks. About two days after the 1st, the area below was very wet, and when wiped, it was like semi-transparent egg white. Thinking it was about time, I had sex on the 10th with withdrawal. After the 10th, my breasts started to feel sore, and I also started getting pimples on my chin. But the period still hasn't come yet. Is it possible that it's delayed or irregular? Or could I be pregnant? What kind of help do you need: Originally, the period was on January 6th, so it should have come around February 6th. Usually, it's a day or two early or late, but not too much. But it's the 16th now, so could I be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is a normal phenomenon. If menstruation does not occur within 10 days or more, it should be considered pregnancy. You can use early pregnancy test strips or blood HCG testing for diagnosis. If pregnancy is ruled out, it should be considered menstrual irregularity, and an endocrine examination is needed to identify the cause. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
