Patient's question:
I had contact with my husband on the 17th. I usually get my period on the 20th of every month, but this month it didn't come until the 24th, and the amount is also much less than usual. Am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
?Hello, vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy generally has two possible causes: ectopic pregnancy and threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to come to the hospital for blood HCG, progesterone, and vaginal ultrasound tests to confirm the diagnosis. If you have a history of miscarriage, it could be due to immune-related factors causing a natural miscarriage. It is best to also test for antiphospholipid antibodies. If the tests confirm this, immune therapy can be performed in the early stages of pregnancy to protect the fetus.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
