Patient's question:
Currently, in general: I had sexual intercourse with my husband on 10.2, and my period was normal on 10.15. After that, we were in separate places and did not have sexual intercourse, but on 11.20, my period still did not start. Could it be pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation delay can generally be attributed to the following reasons:1. Pregnancy: After a delay of 7 days in menstruation, you can use a "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test your urine. If it is positive, it is likely that you are pregnant. Conversely, if the "Early Pregnancy Test Paper" is negative, it is not. However, if you are pregnant, there may also be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the final solution is to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital.
2. Side effects of medication: For example, long-term use of birth control pills can lead to endocrine disorders, which can also cause delayed menstruation.
3. Other factors: Such as mental stress, high pressure, changes in the environment, and other psychological factors, as well as some diseases that affect the endocrine system, can all cause delayed menstruation.
Advice: If menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, regardless of the reason, it is recommended to come to the hospital for examination and confirmation. The doctor will provide symptomatic treatment based on your condition.
