Is it menstrual irregularity or pregnancy?

Patient's question:

8.29 had a period, 9.12 had sexual intercourse, 9.25 also had sexual intercourse, but tested and wasn't pregnant. Today is the 1st and it's delayed by 3 days. Still don't know what's going on. Tested yesterday and wasn't pregnant either.

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 disorders, and it is necessary to undergo an endocrine examination to identify the cause. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
