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. How many days of delayed menstruation should I wait before going to the hospital for a check-up?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. If the period is delayed, it is also necessary to consider factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. 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.
