Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what could be causing my period to be delayed by a week?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are several reasons for delayed menstruation. If you had unprotected sexual intercourse during your ovulation period previously, you can use a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. If pregnancy is ruled out, it could also be caused by other factors such as endocrine disorders, changes in physiological indicators, emotional fluctuations, or gynecological inflammation and other adverse stimuli. If your period still hasn't arrived after a few days, it is recommended to visit a gynecological department in a hospital for a proper examination. Active symptomatic treatment can be provided based on the condition. Pay attention to scientific conditioning in daily life, avoid stimulating factors, and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
