Patient's question:
My period is very normal, but this month, because I went out for a while, I can say I was particularly tired. After coming home, I also ate a lot of cold food. But I am sure I only had sex last month and definitely not this month, but my period still hasn't come. It has been seven days. I am very anxious, but I don't know what the reason is. Could it be pregnancy?Medical history and effectiveness: I have never been to the hospital for this.
Help needed: I hope to find the cause and a solution.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the analysis of the information you provided, if there is no sexual activity but the menstrual period is delayed, it is necessary to consider the possibility of diseases and psychological factors. It is advisable to seek medical attention early for examination to clarify the cause and receive treatment. Regarding the above situation, it is recommended to see a gynecologist as soon as possible for examinations such as a color Doppler ultrasound and a test for sex hormone levels. After identifying the cause, standardized treatment can be administered. Commonly used drugs for regulating menstruation include progesterone.The factors affecting menstruation are whether the pituitary gland, ovaries, and other endocrine systems are normal, and it has no relationship with the digestive system. It is recommended that you have a pelvic color Doppler ultrasound performed at the hospital to check the thickness of the endometrium. If it exceeds 8 mm, you can take progesterone capsules to induce menstruation. After menstruation begins, further tests for sex hormones can be conducted to assess the endocrine status.
