What should I do if my period is delayed?

Patient's question:

Last month, I had sexual activity, but this month my period hasn't come. A few days ago, I had some pale yellow liquid discharge, and today there was a little blood in my underwear. What's the problem? Am I pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation delay at your age should be primarily considered pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test to check. If pregnancy is ruled out, it's important to consider menstrual irregularity. It's recommended to have a gynecological examination to comprehensively understand the related factors regarding your menstruation.
Under normal circumstances, a delay or advancement of one week in menstruation is considered normal. There are several factors that may lead to your menstrual irregularity, such as weather changes, changes in living environment, mood, work stress, endocrine issues, etc. It's advised to wait a few days first to see if it arrives. If it still hasn't come after a week, you may consider visiting a hospital for a check-up. Good luck!
