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 long should my period be absent before I can determine if I'm pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After a week of delayed menstruation, you can use a pregnancy test kit to check. If two red lines appear on the test paper, it indicates a positive result, meaning pregnancy; alternatively, you can go to the hospital to have your blood tested for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to confirm pregnancy. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
