Patient's question:
My girlfriend's period was a week late last month, and it still hasn't arrived a week into this month. She has experienced sore nipples and breast tenderness, the areolas have darkened, and she feels her breasts are swollen, accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, and sleepiness. Is this a sign of pregnancy? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Menstruation can be affected by many factors, such as food, emotions, medication, environment, weather, etc. Generally, it is normal if it is early or delayed by up to 7 days. If it exceeds this period for a long time, you should consider whether it is caused by pregnancy, endocrine disorders, or gynecological diseases. HCG test paper can detect pregnancy, hormone 6 tests can check endocrine function, and gynecological examinations such as leukorrhea routine tests and ultrasound can determine if it is caused by gynecological diseases.
