Patient's question:
Symptom Description: When the menstrual period is approaching, the breasts and nipples will continuously protrude, and small nodules will appear on the nipples. There is no pain, and I suspect pregnancy, but the test results all show that I am not pregnant. What could be the reason?Past Treatment and Effect: I have taken a pregnancy test, but the result was negative.
Help Needed: I want to know if it could be pregnancy.
Doctor's answer:
Is menstruation stopped?Normal and regular menstruation cessation is the most significant and earliest sign of pregnancy. If, due to various reasons, there is a temporary disruption but it occurs much longer than expected. Additionally, if there has been recent sexual intercourse, and menstruation is delayed by ten days without any apparent cause, this should raise high alert, as you are very likely pregnant. If menstruation continues to be absent for more than 14 days, you should immediately go to the hospital for testing.
Have you experienced "early pregnancy symptoms"?
Nausea and vomiting are the most common signs of pregnancy. If you are like most women, morning sickness may not appear until about a month after conception. A few lucky women may never experience nausea or vomiting throughout their entire pregnancy. However, some women may start feeling nauseous before this. Morning sickness can occur not only in the morning but also at noon or in the evening. However, approximately half of women with morning sickness no longer experience nausea or vomiting after the second trimester. The majority of the remaining women may still need to wait another month before their symptoms begin to subside.
