Patient's question:
I got my period on the 13th, and during that time, I developed external genital itching. I bought a topical medication for it. It worked, and we had sex on the 8th of this month. However, by the 14th, my period still hadn't arrived. I bought a pregnancy test, and the result was negative. Today is the 16th, and it still hasn't come. Why is that?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems you have a fungal vaginal infection, which is a common gynecological condition that tends to recur frequently and is prone to relapse. Based on your description, I recommend that you visit a hospital for a blood HCG test to determine if you are pregnant. After confirming, you can then treat the inflammation, which will make the recovery process much easier. If you are not pregnant, your irregular menstruation may be caused by the inflammation. I hope my explanation helps you. In addition to treating the vulvar itching, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up the recovery process.
