Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does having sex a day before menstruation cause a delay in menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, tests such as blood and urine hCG and ultrasound can be conducted after a one-week delay in menstruation to check for pregnancy. Delayed menstruation should also be considered due to factors such as poor rest, stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests of the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and seek targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
