Patient's question:
I have been experiencing amenorrhea for 9 days. Why can't I get a positive result with the early pregnancy test? What should I do? First follow-up question: My menstrual cycle has always been very regular, and this is the first time it's happened. If it doesn't come, what should I do? Thank you everyone!Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is a possibility of false negatives in the early stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to have another check-up. After confirming pregnancy, the hospital should promptly investigate the cause for targeted treatment. Additionally, please pay attention to the following:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency toward depression during their menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly anxious.
2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Keep the external genital area clean. Abstinence from sexual intercourse during the menstrual period is strictly required. Maintain warmth, avoid cold exposure, and avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and breathability. Wash and change underwear frequently, and ensure they are dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain regular bowel movements. Individuals with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before their period and avoid foods that stimulate fire, such as garlic, onions, chives, and ginger. Those with poor qi and blood should increase their nutritional intake, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and lamb, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
