Patient's question:
I had my period around September 3rd and 4th, but it wasn't very regular—sometimes it would skip a cycle if I was tired. It hasn't come yet. On November 14th, I took a long-acting birth control pill, and on the 17th, I had sexual intercourse. I don't know what caused this, and my period still hasn't arrived. It's not because I'm pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if a woman is pregnant with a delayed period of about ten days, most pregnancy tests can provide a clear result. If using an ultrasound, it tends to be slower. It is usually recommended to wait until around 40-50 days for higher accuracy, as earlier tests may not be as reliable.Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a vaginal discharge test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
