Patient's question:
I have been married and using a ring for 4 years. But this time, my period has been delayed for 6 days. I want to ask if I might be pregnant.Moreover, the issue is that my periods were always regular before. I've never had this kind of situation before—maximum delay was just one day. So now, with a 6-day delay, I'm really worried!
First follow-up question: Does anyone know?
Doctor's answer:
?Hello, according to your description, it is normal for a woman's menstrual cycle to occasionally be delayed by three to seven days. It is recommended that you do not worry too much and wait a few more days to see if your period comes. If it still hasn't arrived, it is best to use a pregnancy test kit 14 days after sexual intercourse to check if you are pregnant. It is also suggested to pay more attention to local hygiene, especially before sexual activity, ensuring both parties are clean.
