Patient's question:
I and my girlfriend did it, she should have had her period this month, but it's been more than a month since her last period. I want to ask if she might be pregnant. The last time, we used a condom, but she still didn't get her period. What could be the reason?First question supplement: She hasn't had her period for a month, how about half? Is it because she's pregnant? Do girls' menstrual cycles vary by a month? She's only 18, is her period unstable?!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: As long as the condom is not broken, you will not get pregnant. You can use a pregnancy test kit to rule out pregnancy. Additionally, you need to:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during menstruation, which are all normal and do not require excessive worry.
2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Keep the external genitalia clean. Intercourse is absolutely forbidden during menstruation. Pay attention to warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and have good ventilation. Wash and change it frequently, and dry the underwear in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other stimulating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to keep bowel movements regular. Those with blood heat should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation and avoid stimulating foods like garlic, onions, leeks, and ginger. Those with poor qi and blood should increase their nutrition regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and melons.
