How to deal with irregular periods that used to come a few days early?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, previously it arrived a few days earlier, sometimes up to 10 days. Now it's delayed by two days, and I've had menstrual cramps for two days, but my period hasn't come. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the main reasons for delayed menstruation include pregnancy, medication intake, disrupted sleep patterns, emotional stress factors, environmental and dietary factors, and so on. It is recommended that you wait for one week of delayed menstruation before undergoing an early pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you can receive a progesterone injection to induce menstruation. For women with gynecological conditions, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication.
