Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should I do if my period hasn't arrived and the test is negative?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you mentioned, it is generally recommended to first check if the early pregnancy test is positive before concluding. However, be mindful of fatigue, poor rest, or stress and anxiety, as well as environmental changes and gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, and other factors, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. Identify the cause and treat it accordingly. Your condition falls under menstrual irregularity, with many possible causes. Clinically, it is usually categorized into two major types: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, among other conditions, which can also cause menstrual irregularity.
