Patient's question:
Because my period was normal last month and came on the 24th. It ended on the 27th and 28th. But this month, on the 17th, I had a one-time sexual encounter without using contraception. So I'm very nervous, afraid of getting pregnant.I was supposed to get my period on the 24th, but it hasn't arrived yet on the 27th. Last night, I bought a pregnancy test and took it. It showed that I'm not pregnant. Is it too early to test, so it didn't show up, or am I really not pregnant?
Could it be that the nervousness in my mind could also cause my period to be delayed?
Doctor's answer:
If we exclude the possibility of pregnancy due to sexual activity, then it is possible that this could be related to psychological factors. Please relax and pay attention to keeping warm, and your period should come quickly. The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
