Patient's question:
Three months of amenorrhea, the doctor prescribed progesterone. After taking progesterone for a week, the menstruation still hasn't arrived. Why?Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, blood and urine hCG tests, as well as ultrasound examinations, can be conducted one week after the menstrual period is delayed to check for pregnancy. Delayed menstruation should also be considered due to factors such as poor rest, mental stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests of the six sex hormones and ultrasound, avoid taking medication blindly, and undergo targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
