Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has always been regular, usually coming around the 6th or 7th. I had sexual intercourse between the 18th and 25th of last month, and I took contraceptive measures. My period is a few days late, and I tested negative for pregnancy on the 9th of this month using a pregnancy test. In early August, I had a habit of staying up late. Am I really not pregnant? Or could the test date be too early? What could be the reason for my delayed period?The help I need: How can I make my period come faster?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there can be a few days of variation in the regular menstrual cycle, generally not exceeding one week, which is considered normal. If pregnancy, staying up late, insufficient sleep, excessive stress, mental tension, fatigue, or endocrine disorders are ruled out, these factors may temporarily delay menstruation. It is recommended to relax and wait for the menstrual cycle to return to normal.It is advisable to wait and see. If the menstrual period is delayed by 7 days, a blood HCG test can be performed. This test is used to confirm pregnancy and is the gold standard for diagnosing pregnancy.
It is recommended to take Xiaoyao Pills and Erya Granules for treatment. Avoid spicy, cold, and cool foods.
