Does irregular sexual life affect the normal menstruation?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: 22
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: My period hasn't come for several months. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, but after that, my period came again. However, since then, it hasn't come, and it has been about 6 to 7 months. I used to have irregular periods, with long gaps between them, and there was no pattern. I am wondering if irregular sexual activity could affect the regularity of my period. Also, could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

This will not have a significant impact. If there is a delay in menstruation, it is necessary to consider whether there is a possibility of pregnancy.
Suggestions:
- Rest properly, maintain a balanced diet, and keep a good mood.
- Increase comprehensive nutrition.
- Pay attention to warmth, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimuli to prevent the invasion of cold pathogens.
If pregnancy is confirmed to be absent, it is also necessary to check whether there are gynecological inflammatory conditions.
Additionally, it is important to note that fatigue, poor rest, mental tension and anxiety, environmental changes, and gynecological inflammation, as well as endocrine disorders, can all lead to delayed menstruation. It is essential to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
