I used to have very regular periods, but now they haven't arrived this month. What's going on?

Patient's question:

This month, starting around the 8th or 9th, I've been experiencing persistent lower abdominal bloating and pain, with occasional pain on the right side of my waist. I've been lacking energy, feeling sleepy, having a heavy and dizzy head, and struggling to concentrate. I've also been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, but a pregnancy test this evening showed I'm not pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, early or delayed menstruation by one week is a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, it is important to first check for the possibility of pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test kit one week after the menstrual period to confirm. Delayed menstruation can also be caused by factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment.
