Patient's question:

Menstruation is delayed by 8 days and has not arrived, with frequent urination, stomach discomfort for a few days, and almost two to three bowel movements a day, with some symptoms of diarrhea.

Doctor's answer:

Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, you can check blood and urine hCG, ultrasound, and other tests one week after the menstrual period is delayed to see if you are pregnant. Menstrual delay should also be considered due to factors such as poor rest, mental stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for tests of six sex hormones and ultrasound. Do not take medication blindly; identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
