Patient's question:
I had my period on the 21st of last month, and it's already the 25th today, but my period hasn't arrived yet. I'm worried I might be pregnant and don't know when I can find out. Are there any methods to check?Doctor's answer:
Hello! In the early stages of pregnancy, there are often no very obvious symptoms. The most obvious sign is when a regularly occurring menstrual period does not arrive on time. Additionally, there may be symptoms such as feeling cold, a slight ache in the lower abdomen, and an increase in thick, viscous vaginal discharge. Fatigue, weakness, and excessive sleepiness may also occur.If a regularly occurring menstrual period does not arrive on time and lasts more than a week, it is recommended to visit a hospital for blood HCG and urine HCG tests to accurately determine the situation and take appropriate measures as soon as possible. Blood HCG tests can confirm pregnancy one week after sexual intercourse.
