Patient's question:
Hello! I had my period on the 3rd of last month and it lasted for three days. On the 12th, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, but it did not involve vaginal penetration. However, I haven't had my period by the 5th of this month, and I've also been experiencing lower abdominal bloating and pain. There's also something coming out that's similar to my period. My friend said it's ovulation bleeding. I'm not sure if my situation is normal or if I might be pregnant? (Because I once read in a magazine that pregnancy can occur without vaginal penetration). Also, how many days of a delayed period are considered normal? And what is this substance that's like my period? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
The basic conditions for pregnancy require the combination of sperm and egg to conceive. Without formal sexual intercourse and ejaculation, how can pregnancy occur? Please rest assured, the absence of menstruation is just a delay. Avoid staying up late and pay more attention to rest, and your menstruation will come.
