Patient's question:
On the 3rd, I had sex with my boyfriend. My period is usually on the 10th (it has been the 10th for the past two months), but it hasn't arrived yet on the 10th. I'm very worried about getting pregnant and don't know what to do. However, I'm also very afraid of going to the hospital. Please help me.Doctor's answer:
It is not ruled out that pregnancy is possible. After a 7-day delay in the menstrual cycle, an early pregnancy test can be used to detect it. Two red lines on the test paper indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. Additionally, 10 days after sexual intercourse, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which is the most accurate method for checking pregnancy. It is recommended that you promptly have a blood HCG test at the hospital. After ruling out pregnancy, you can have an ultrasound and a six-hormone test to identify the cause. Once pregnancy is ruled out, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine such as Wuji Baifeng pills, Danggui Adjusting Menstruation capsules, and Menstruation Adjusting pills to regulate your menstrual cycle. Daily life should be regular, with plenty of rest and avoiding overexertion. Consume fresh vegetables and calcium-rich foods, maintain a cheerful mood, and strengthen exercise. Wishing you good health.
