Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. Previously, my menstrual cycle was always regular, with no irregularities. I got married in September and started trying to conceive. Since then, my menstrual cycle has become irregular. This month, due to illness, I did not conceive, but my period is delayed by 14 days. Previously, when my period was about to come, I experienced breast pain and lower abdominal pain. This time, I have no symptoms at all. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Stress, irregular sleep patterns, and high pressure can also affect menstruation and fertility. Based on your description, you seem a bit stressed, and your period hasn't arrived this time. If you have a history of sexual activity, regardless of whether you are breastfeeding or not, you need to rule out pregnancy first. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium, and to test for HCG and progesterone to rule out pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, you can use progesterone to induce menstruation. It is best to always maintain a calm mood and let pregnancy happen naturally. Excessive stress can affect menstruation and also hinder conception.
