Does sex cause menstrual delay?

Patient's question:

I had two last times with my boyfriend in a month, seven days before my period.

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual period is delayed, it could be due to fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. A delay or advancement of one week in the menstrual period is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, it is important to first check for the possibility of pregnancy.
