Patient's question:
On December 27th, my period came, and it ended by January 2nd. On the 4th, I had sex with my boyfriend, and we used protection. Up until now, I haven't had my period. When my period was delayed by 10 days, I took a morning pregnancy test, and when it was delayed by 20 days, I took another one. Even when it was delayed by 30 days, I took a morning pregnancy test, and all of them were negative. I've also been experiencing lower back pain and a feeling that my abdomen is slightly larger than usual. Could I be pregnant? Or is it just irregular periods? My periods have always been late, sometimes with a few early ones as well.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your condition, the test result is currently negative, so pregnancy can be ruled out. There are several factors that can cause a delayed menstrual period, such as stress and anxiety, overexertion and anger, excessive pressure, endocrine disorders, medication effects, gynecological diseases, and so on. Since your menstrual period has been delayed for a month, it is recommended to have a detailed MRI examination to check the thickness of the endometrium and the condition of the adnexa. If necessary, follow your doctor's advice to take medication to induce menstruation. For gynecological patients, in addition to receiving standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. It is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
