Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for two years, and we both plan to have a child. However, my wife has always had irregular periods, with her menstruation always being delayed by about a week. As a result, it's always difficult for us to calculate her ovulation period. So, I'd like to ask all the netizens, what could be the reason for her periods always being delayed by a week?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is delayed by one week every time and it does not qualify as menstrual irregularity, you can estimate it based on a cycle of 37 days, which indicates that your menstrual cycle is slightly longer. If you calculate the ovulation period based on a 37-day cycle, then the ovulation period would be from day 18 to day 27 of your menstrual cycle. You can have sexual intercourse during this period. Of course, you can also confirm ovulation by monitoring follicular data with ultrasound. For gynecological patients, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is important to remind female patients to have regular follow-up check-ups!
