Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods. Last month, I took birth control pills. Did this cause my period not to come this time? I have experienced periods not coming for over half a month before, and periods lasting a long time, but they eventually came. There was also a time when I had period cramps. Recently, I feel like there's a lump inside my chest, and pressing on the lower chest causes pain.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is normal for a woman's period to be [early] or delayed by 3-7 days, as the menstrual cycle can be affected by various factors such as environment, climate, and emotions.Guidance:
If your period hasn't arrived on time and you haven't had it for more than 7-10 days, consider the possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to take an early pregnancy test.
Lifestyle Care:
If the test shows two red lines, it indicates a positive result, suggesting the possibility of pregnancy. However, you can also go to the hospital for a blood hCG test 7 days after intercourse to confirm.
