Is delayed menstruation after cohabitation a symptom of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend! Her period is delayed by ten days! And her breasts have been sore for five days! We had sex before, but he didn't come inside! Is this an early symptom of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

After a week of delayed menstruation, an early pregnancy test can be used to detect it. Two red lines appearing on the test paper indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy; alternatively, you can go to the hospital to have your blood tested for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to confirm pregnancy.
Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
