Patient's question:
My period is about 20 days late and hasn't arrived yet. I suspect I might be pregnant, but the test strip results were negative. I think it probably isn't because I haven't experienced any other symptoms besides the missed period. Due to work commitments, I've been a bit busy and haven't had time to check. What could be the reason for this? Additionally, sometimes my lower abdomen hurts, as if it's about to come, but it hasn't arrived yet.Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, generally due to the influence of factors such as the environment, emotions, etc., a delay of 3-5 days in menstruation is considered a normal phenomenon. From your description, if the menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, you can go to a regular hospital to test hCG for confirmation of pregnancy.
