Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very afraid that my condition might worsen. Please tell me if it's possible to get pregnant after having sex during the last menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, menstruation usually does not occur. Generally, menstruation indicates that one is not pregnant. However, it is important to note that bleeding may occur after pregnancy, which could be due to incomplete miscarriage or implantation bleeding. Therefore, it is not always the case that pregnancy means the absence of a "menstrual period"—this is a false menstruation. Delayed menstruation could be caused by factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress and anxiety, or changes in the environment. Of course, the first step is to determine whether pregnancy or gynecological inflammation is the issue, as endocrine disorders are also possible. Identifying the cause or underlying condition allows for targeted treatment.
