Why does menstruation always delay after sexual intercourse after ovulation?

Patient's question:

After ovulation, if you have sex, your period is always delayed, usually by about a week. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is delayed. If there has been sexual activity, pregnancy is a possibility. You can use a pregnancy test kit about a week after the delay to find out. Excluding pregnancy, factors such as endocrine disorders, medication, gynecological inflammation, emotions, environment, weather, and psychological reasons can all cause delayed menstruation. You can go to the hospital to check hormone levels or have an ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive treatment.
