Patient's question:
On December 21, 2005, after I posted my first question here, I used a pregnancy test and confirmed that it was not pregnancy. How accurate is the pregnancy test? Why hasn't my period arrived yet? What should I do next? Do I need to see a doctor for a check-up?First question supplement: The question from December 21, 2005: In this situation, is it pregnancy?
I had sexual intercourse with my husband on November 5 and 6, and we used condoms for contraception. My period arrived normally on November 12. However, my period did not arrive on time on December 12, and it still hasn't arrived. Is it possible that I am pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, after 14 days in the same room or if menstruation is delayed for more than a week, you can use early pregnancy test strips or go to the hospital for hCG blood tests. If menstruation is delayed for more than ten days and pregnancy is ruled out, it is advisable to regulate your menstrual cycle. The occurrence of gynecological examinations not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
