Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it's important to consider the possibility of irregular menstruation and pregnancy. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the vaginal area, and pay attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period is delayed by more than a week, you can undergo an early pregnancy test. Medication during early pregnancy may have some impact on the child, and the specific situation varies from person to person. If you want to have a child, it's recommended to have regular follow-up check-ups. If everything is normal, there is no need to worry.I suggest you pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, keep the external genitalia clean, change underwear frequently, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain a relaxed mood, and avoid catching a cold. Additionally, it's recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups. Get plenty of rest. If you want to keep the pregnancy, you can have a 4D ultrasound after the 20th week to determine the fetal development.
