Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me how to calculate the menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered 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. Delayed menstruation should also be considered 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.
