Patient's question:
Can sex cause menstruation to be delayed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if there has been unprotected sexual intercourse, pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Additionally, delayed menstruation may be due to factors such as poor rest, stress, fatigue, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to take a pregnancy test. Two red lines on the test paper indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. Alternatively, you can visit the hospital for a blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, it is advised to have blood tests for six sex hormones and an ultrasound at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
