Is there a possibility of pregnancy if menstruation is delayed?

Patient's question:

A few months ago, my period usually arrived four days early. This month, it was delayed by two days. It was supposed to come on the 20th, but it only showed up faintly on the 23rd and then disappeared. The second line on the pregnancy test has a faint mark. Could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a weak positive result on a pregnancy test with a delayed period suggests the possibility of pregnancy, but it cannot be confirmed.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you visit a hospital to have a blood hCG test to confirm whether you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, it is advisable to pay attention to prenatal care and supplement folic acid. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a person's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
