Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old, menstrual cycle one week early each monthDoctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, you can check blood and urine hCG, ultrasound, and other tests after the menstruation is delayed by one week to see if you are pregnant. Menstruation delay 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 go to the hospital for tests of six sex hormones and ultrasound, avoid taking medication blindly, and treat the cause once it is identified.
