Patient's question:
My period started last month on the 11th. It has been normal for the past few months, and it always comes two or three days earlier each time. I had intercourse on the 23rd, 24th, and 29th, and didn't use any birth control. Sometimes my breasts feel swollen, and my nipples are a bit darker than usual. Lately, I've also been experiencing cramps and sometimes stomach pain, and I feel very tired. Could these symptoms be related to pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Note that it is generally normal for a woman's menstrual period to be delayed by no more than one week. If your period is delayed by one week and has arrived, it is recommended to observe the condition of your period. As long as there is no significant change in the amount of menstrual flow or the duration of the period, it can be ruled out that you are pregnant, because if you are pregnant, your period cannot come normally. If you have had sexual activity, the possibility of pregnancy is also relatively high. You can take a early pregnancy test first. If the patient is not pregnant, it is necessary to avoid fatigue and tension and observe the condition of the period. If the period still does not come, it is recommended that you take progesterone to induce menstruation.
