Patient's question:
Hello doctor: My period has been delayed for half a month. I have been using pregnancy test strips and they have always been negative. I had two medical abortions last year, but my period has been normal ever since. Can an ectopic pregnancy be detected with pregnancy test strips? Does masturbation affect the regularity of menstruation? Thank you!First question supplement: Doctor: I have another question. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said if it was confirmed that I wasn't pregnant, they would give me a drug to stimulate my period. What kind of medication should I take? I have had two medical abortions, and I am afraid I may not be able to get pregnant in the future. What tests should I undergo to determine if I can still conceive, and how much will it cost? My period has been delayed for half a month, and I have been using a pregnancy test strip.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a ectopic pregnancy should show a positive result on a pregnancy test. At the same time, symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may also occur. An ultrasound can be performed to aid in diagnosis.Diet, medication, emotions, environment, and other factors can all lead to menstrual cycle disorders. Masturbation can also cause menstrual irregularities. It is recommended to abstain from masturbation, as prolonged masturbation can lead to infections. Currently, focus on rest and nutrition, and try to maintain a positive mindset. Avoid spicy foods. Based on your symptoms, you may take Qi and blood capsules for regulation. It is advisable to undergo an ultrasound and a six-sex hormone test to confirm the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
