Patient's question:
My period is about 20 days late and hasn't arrived yet. I suspect I might be pregnant, but the test strip results showed negative, so I think I probably am not, because I haven't experienced any other symptoms except for the missed period. Due to work commitments, I've been a bit busy and haven't had time to get checked. What could be the reason for this? Additionally, sometimes my lower abdomen hurts, as if it's about to come, but it hasn't arrived yet.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Could you please ask if your menstrual history has been normal in the past? It is recommended to actively go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If pregnancy is ruled out, then active treatment for menstrual regulation should be carried out. Progesterone can be used for this. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
