Patient's question:
What's wrong if my period hasn't arrived after the due date? Am I pregnant? If so, are these signs of an ectopic pregnancy or signs of threatened miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal menstrual cycle is 28 to 36 days. Anything within this range is generally not a significant issue. I suggest you don't worry too much. If you have had sexual activity, and your period is delayed by more than 7 days, you should first take a pregnancy test. Once it's confirmed that you are not pregnant, you should also check for any gynecological infections. Additionally, factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress and anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological infections, and endocrine disorders can all cause delayed menstruation. If you are not pregnant and your period still hasn't arrived, I recommend visiting a gynecological department at the hospital for examination. It's important to identify the underlying cause before treatment.
