Patient's question:
Menstruation delayed for 5 monthsDoctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, a blood and urine hCG test, as well as an ultrasound, can be conducted after a one-week delay in menstruation to check for pregnancy. Delayed menstruation should also be considered due to factors such as poor rest, stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests of the six sex hormones and an ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and undergo targeted treatment once the cause is identified.
