Patient's question:
I had a few sexual encounters with my girlfriend a few days before her menstrual period, but after that, she didn't get her period. It has been 13 days since then, and I am worried she might be pregnant. I used early pregnancy tests on her morning urine twice, and both results were negative. But why hasn't her period come yet? What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Delayed menstruation is related to factors such as pregnancy, irregular lifestyle, endocrine disorders, and gynecological diseases. If you have had sexual activity and experienced a delayed menstruation, the first thing to consider is pregnancy. It is recommended that you take an early pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant. In women, delayed menstruation is closely linked to qi and blood. When qi and blood are out of balance, it is the root of all illnesses; when qi and blood are abundant, no illnesses will arise. Therefore, to regulate menstruation, it is essential to first regulate qi and blood.
