What should I do if my menstrual cycle is irregular?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstrual cycle, delayed by about ten days each month. My period came on the 21st last month. Had sex last night without protection. Could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

There is no absolute safe period; as long as coitus occurs without contraceptive measures, there is a possibility of pregnancy. If you do not plan to have a baby, it is recommended to take emergency contraception as soon as possible. Emergency contraception is effective if taken within 72 hours of coitus, and the earlier, the better. Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
