Patient's question:
The last time you had your period was on January [date], and you had sexual intercourse on January 20th, using a condom with withdrawal. Today, you noticed yellowish-brown discharge in your underwear. What could be the reason? Is there a high chance of pregnancy? Is there anything you need to do?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is the periodic shedding of the endometrium, manifested as shed endometrium and blood clots. Generally, the menstrual cycle occurs approximately once a month. In the situation you described, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test promptly to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If pregnant, a delay of one week or an advancement of one week in the menstrual cycle is considered normal. However, this is not a face-to-face consultation, and the advice is for reference only. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
