Patient's question:
Hello, I had sex with my boyfriend before and took emergency contraception. My period is delayed by more than 20 days. The hospital ultrasound showed thickening of the uterine lining, and the urine pregnancy test was negative. The doctor prescribed medication and said it would come after three days, but it has been 7 or 8 days now and it still hasn't arrived. What could be the reason? Am I pregnant? I have cysts.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally a menstrual period that is one week early or late is considered normal. In the current situation, you can wait and see. If it still hasn't arrived after another week, you can take a urine early pregnancy test. If it's not pregnancy, it could be menstrual irregularity, and you can take Wuji Baifeng Pills or Chinese herbal medicine to regulate it. If necessary, hormone-based artificial cycle treatment can be used.
