Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I haven't had my period for a month after my first sexual intercourse with my husband. My hymen broke, but my period didn't come as expected. I am very worried. Please advise the doctor.Doctor's answer:
It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up to find the cause and receive timely treatment. There are many factors that can cause a delayed menstrual period, mainly including the following situations:1. Pregnancy
If your period is delayed by 7 days, you can use a "early pregnancy test strip" to test your urine. If it shows positive, you may be pregnant. If the test strip is negative, the opposite is true. However, even if you are pregnant, you may also experience other symptoms such as nausea and breast tenderness.
2. Side effects of medication
Long-term use of birth control pills can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to a delayed menstrual period. Doctors have also found that a new generation of gastric motility drugs, such as Domperidone (Metoclopramide), may cause menstrual delays.
3. Psychological factors
Stress, high pressure, changes in the environment, and some endocrine-related diseases can all cause delayed menstruation.
4. Changes in external working conditions, living environments, and climate
Irregular daily routines, such as staying up late or not getting enough rest, or sudden extreme cold or heat, can disrupt a woman's menstrual cycle.
