Is it really menstrual irregularity or pregnancy?

Patient's question:

History of previous treatment and effectiveness: I used to have irregular menstruation after giving birth to my first child, but why is it like this now? It's been over 6 days, and the test strips haven't shown anything. I'm really worried—is it really menstrual irregularity or pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

This friend's delayed menstruation is mainly due to two possible reasons: early pregnancy and menstrual disorders. Since the menstruation has been delayed by less than 7 days, it is recommended to check blood HCG at the hospital. If it is not pregnancy, then it is likely menstrual disorders. In such cases, hormone six tests can be conducted to diagnose the cause of the menstrual disorders and then receive targeted treatment. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, especially in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
