Patient's question:
I got my period on the 6th of last month. In the past two years, when my period was light, it usually stopped around the third day. This month, it's been delayed, and it hasn't arrived by the 21st. I took a test but it wasn't positive. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Since it has been tested and there is no pregnancy, it cannot be an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is also possible. Based on the situation you described, you may have a delayed period. If this persists for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Have a blood test for the six reproductive hormones to see if your hormone levels are insufficient. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to hygiene.
