Delayed menstruation, how to detect if pregnant

Patient's question:

Menstruation is delayed by 8 days. Previously, it was always normal. I want to ask if going to the hospital now can detect whether I am pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, delayed menstruation can be caused by factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. One week of delay or advancement in menstruation is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, it is important to first check for the possibility of pregnancy.
