Patient's question:
My period is delayed this month again, and it's also very light. What's going on? What are the reasons for a delayed and light period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, a delay of up to one week during the menstrual period is within the normal range of fluctuation. Of course, if there has been sexual intercourse previously and the amount this time is particularly low, and the delay is less than one week to more than ten days, it is first necessary to use early pregnancy test strips or have blood tests to check for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). At the same time, an ultrasound should be performed to examine the thickness of the endometrium. Based on the examination results, the cause should be identified and targeted care should be implemented.
