Patient's question:
What is the reason for a 15-day delay in menstruation? Previously, menstruation was always normal, but this time it has been delayed for more than half a month.Doctor's answer:
For women with a regular menstrual cycle who experience a missed period, it is important to first remember the date of their last menstrual period, how many days they have been without a period, and to conduct an early pregnancy test. Currently, with the increased sensitivity of reagents, pregnancy can be detected around 35 days after the last period. Once pregnancy is confirmed, further detailed examinations should be conducted to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, and appropriate treatment should be provided for either terminating the pregnancy or continuing the pregnancy. If ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, it is essential to receive relevant treatment in a hospital promptly.
