Can a pregnancy test be used to check for delayed menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can a pregnancy test be used to test for pregnancy if the period is delayed?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, you can use a pregnancy test to check. If you are not pregnant, it should be a symptom of endocrine disorder causing delayed menstruation. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, eat light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
