Will a delayed period be a sign of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I haven't had my period this month. Sometimes I feel nauseous after eating.

Doctor's answer:

Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, tests such as blood and urine hCG and ultrasound can be conducted after a one-week delay in menstruation to check for pregnancy. The delay in menstruation may also be due to factors such as poor rest, stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and seek targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
