Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what it means if I don't get my period after a month of sexual activity and test negative?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation is delayed or advanced by one week, it is normal. With a history of sexual activity, if menstruation is delayed by more than one week, the first step is to use a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Stress, exposure to cold, changes in environment, or endocrine disorders can all cause delayed menstruation. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a person's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
