Patient's question:
I had my period on the 11th last time, and it hasn't arrived yet. I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative, but I have severe breast tenderness. I want to know if I might be pregnant or if there's a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy? What can I do to find out my current physical condition? Also, I want to know if a gynecological examination could affect the delay of my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, breast tenderness cannot be determined to be related to menstruation or pregnancy. Hello, generally speaking, the earliest way to know if you are pregnant is to have a blood hCG test at the hospital. Usually, 10 days after intercourse, you can accurately determine whether you are pregnant. You can also have an ultrasound at the hospital one week after your period is delayed to determine if you are pregnant. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk factors for prenatal care to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. In addition, patients should also create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
