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. Can a 3-day delay in menstruation be detected?Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, tests such as blood and urine hCG and ultrasound can be conducted one week after the menstrual cycle is delayed to check for pregnancy. Menstrual delay 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 including the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and seek targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
