Patient's question:
Hello, my period hasn't arrived on time this time. It came on the 4th of last month and has been ongoing until now. I've been very careful with contraception, using condoms. During this period, I experienced anal fissure and there was quite a bit of bleeding. Could this be the reason for my delayed period? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It's normal for menstruation to be one week earlier or later. If your period doesn't arrive more than a week later, there are two possibilities:1. You might be pregnant. If you haven't had unprotected intercourse during the ovulation period after your last period, pregnancy is unlikely. You can take a first-morning urine sample for an early pregnancy test to confirm.
2. Irregular menstruation. Stress, insomnia, high pressure, poor rest, or other emotional factors can all lead to irregular periods. In this case, you can take traditional Chinese medicine decoctions to regulate your cycle or receive a course of progesterone injections at the hospital. These injections can create an artificial menstrual cycle, and your period should arrive 3 to 5 days after stopping the medication.
