Patient's question:
My period has been delayed for 14 days. I used a pregnancy test strip and it showed negative. Is it still necessary for me to go to the hospital for a check-up? I had sex with my husband two days before my expected period. When would be a good time for me to check again?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. Delayed menstruation is mainly caused by two factors: pregnancy and menstrual disorders. Since your period has been delayed for more than 7 days, I recommend you get a blood HCG test at the hospital. If it's not pregnancy, it's likely menstrual disorders. You can have a six-hormone test to confirm the cause of the menstrual disorders and then receive targeted treatment.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar area clean.
