Patient's question:
Hello, my period is 7 days late. The past two days, I sometimes feel a slight pain in my lower abdomen and occasionally lower back pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello, early or delayed menstruation by one week is a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, it is important to first check for the possibility of pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test kit one week after the expected period to confirm. If the period is delayed, factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders may also cause it. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment.
