Patient's question:
I got my period on November 6th, and today is December 6th, but my period still hasn't come! Symptoms include frequent urges to go to the bathroom and constipation! My chest doesn't hurt as much as it used to; it only hurts slightly when touched, and there's a small lump that causes pain when pressed! Besides the abdomen, it sometimes aches a little, but there's nothing noticeable. Usually, my period should have come on the 4th of this month, but it hasn't arrived by the 6th. I just took an early pregnancy test, and it showed one line! Last month, I had a sore throat and took some anti-inflammatory pills. I don't know if this could be related! The kind of assistance I need: to confirm whether I have irregular periods or if I'm pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if there was non-breastfeeding sexual activity last month, especially during the ovulation period, it should be considered pregnancy. The ovulation period is approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period, with a window of 4 days before and 5 days after, totaling 10 days. For the current situation, it is recommended to rest and focus on nutrition, avoid spicy foods, and seek medical attention for blood tests to check HCG and ultrasound diagnosis to identify the cause and treatment.
