Patient's question:
It's said that a menstrual period being a week early or late is normal, but mine has been delayed every month. It used to be the 2nd of the month a few months ago, but now it's been pushed to the 23rd of this month. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you did not take contraceptive measures during cohabitation and experience a delayed menstrual period, the first thing to consider is pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test kit one week after the delay to determine if you are pregnant.Advice: It is best to use morning urine for the test, as the concentration of HCG in morning urine is higher. If two red bars appear in the observation area, it indicates pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, the delayed menstrual period may be caused by endocrine disorders or other reasons.
