Patient's question:
I had my period on October 1st. I used a pregnancy test on November 10th and it was negative. I checked again on November 24th, and it was still negative. Why haven't I gotten my period yet?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a delay of about one week in menstruation is considered a normal phenomenon. If menstruation is irregular or the flow is light, and the delay lasts for more than 10 days, it may be due to endocrine disorders. Poor sleep, high stress, and emotional excitement can also affect the onset of menstruation. Please pay attention to personal hygiene, enhance nutrition in your diet, and avoid raw, cold, hard, or irritating foods. If necessary, consult a hospital for a follow-up ultrasound and symptomatic treatment. Oral or injectable progesterone can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle.
