Patient's question:
Menstruation is delayed by four days. On the fifth day in the morning, there was sexual intercourse, and now there is some blood, as well as lower abdominal and left lower back pain. Please ask if it is a miscarriage or if it is menstruation.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 menstrual period to confirm. If the menstruation is delayed, it is also necessary to consider factors such as fatigue, poor rest, stress, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, and endocrine disorders, which may all lead to long-term irregular delays. 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.
