Patient's question:
My girlfriend's period is delayed by 10 days. What could be the reason? ??She has been feeling cold sometimes recently, and she's also been eating a lot, often feeling hungry.
However, we haven't had any sexual contact, though we did briefly touch each other through shorts once, possibly leaving a tiny bit of semen on the shorts.
Could the doctor be pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, irregular menstruation is generally caused by factors such as reduced diet, poor rest, excessive stress, etc. It is a common gynecological disease, often accompanied by symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles, reduced menstrual volume, excessive menstrual volume, dark red menstrual blood with clots, and may also be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, and lower back/leg pain. A normal menstrual delay should not exceed one week, but if it does, it is considered abnormal. You can choose a regular hospital to have a urine HCG test and use ultrasound to confirm.
