Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it's possible to consider irregular menstruation or pregnancy. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the vulva, pay attention to observing the menstrual cycle. If the period is delayed by more than a week, you can perform an early pregnancy test. Medication in the early stages of pregnancy may have some impact on the child, and the specific situation varies from person to person. If you want to have a child, regular follow-up is recommended. If everything is normal, there is no need to worry.I suggest you pay attention to hygiene of the perineum, keep the external genitalia clean, change underwear frequently, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain a relaxed mood, and avoid catching a cold. Additionally, it is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups. Rest well. If you want to keep the pregnancy, you can have a 4D ultrasound after the 20th week to determine the fetal development.
