Patient's question:
On the 12th of last month, I had my period. This month, I haven't had it yet. But recently, I've been feeling a bit of breast tenderness and occasional mild abdominal pain. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to do an early pregnancy test after a 7-day delay in the menstrual cycle, or visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital 10 days after intercourse to have a blood HCG test, which can determine if you are pregnant. This is currently the earliest and most accurate method of examination. First, rule out pregnancy before considering menstrual irregularities.
