Menstruation is delayed by five days, and the pregnancy test only shows one line. What's going on?

Patient's question:

This month, my period is five days late. My breasts are soft and sore, sometimes the left side of my lower abdomen hurts, and my appetite is poor. The pregnancy test only shows one line. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many reasons that can cause delayed menstruation. First, it's necessary to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
Suggestions: If you have a history of sexual activity, if your menstruation does not arrive within a week, it is necessary to undergo an early pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. Only after pregnancy is ruled out can other causes be further investigated. You can visit the hospital to check for six sex hormones and an ultrasound.
