What are the reasons for a decrease in menstrual flow and a delay of three to five days each month?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is light and delayed by three to five days each month. Last month, my period started on the 25th and lasted for two and a half days before stopping. I had sex on the first and fifth day after my period ended. Today is the 29th of this month, and my period is still four days late. I now have symptoms of headaches, no appetite for dinner, and frequent urination. Could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If it is on the first and fifth day of the menstrual cycle, the chance of getting pregnant is low. If it is during ovulation bleeding, the chance of getting pregnant is high. If the menstrual period is delayed by a week, you can use a urine test strip or blood hCG test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If the possibility of pregnancy is ruled out, you can either wait for the menstrual period to arrive or take medication to induce menstruation. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to treatment during their lives and avoid sexual intercourse. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
