What should I do if my menstrual cycle is irregular and occurs only once every six months?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, Doctor, hello! Can you help me take a look? Am I pregnant or just experiencing irregular menstruation? My period was supposed to come on December 21st last month, and it's already January 3rd today, but it hasn't arrived yet. I don't dare to use medication randomly, because I'm afraid it might harm my body if I'm pregnant!

Doctor's answer:

According to your information, your period is delayed by 12 days. A self-test urine HCG test strip shows one red line, indicating not pregnant. Do you usually have a regular menstrual cycle? If your menstrual cycle is regular and delayed, it may indicate menstrual disorders. It is recommended to check the six hormones of the gonadotropin and seek the cause of the menstrual disorders to help regulate your menstrual cycle. If your menstrual cycle is usually irregular, you can wait for one week to see if your period comes. For gynecological patients, in addition to proper treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to hygiene during treatment, keeping the private parts clean, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
