Patient's question:
All symptoms: I usually get my period on the 7th and 8th of every month. It lasts for about 3-4 days each time. The amount is not too heavy, and I don't feel any abdominal pain. The second day of my last period, I drank cold drinks, and for the following few days, my flow was particularly light. This month, it has been several days since my period was supposed to start, and I'm wondering if it's related to the cold drinks I consumed. What could be the reason, and how can I resolve this? Thank you.Onset time and cause: Treatment history: Desired help: Cause and solution
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your period is delayed, the first thing to rule out is whether you are pregnant. You can buy a pregnancy test kit from a pharmacy to test. Generally, if your period is delayed by 3 to 7 days, you can know whether you are pregnant. If pregnancy is ruled out, the delay in menstruation may be due to, psychological factors such as excessive emotional fluctuations like excessive tension, sadness, shock, etc.; irregular sleep schedules, staying up late, and disruption of the body's biological clock; endometritis, pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, endometrial ectopia, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. These can all cause delayed menstruation. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the cause so that you can receive targeted treatment.
