Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask a question. My girlfriend was supposed to have her period on the 24th of this month, but she hasn't arrived yet, so I wanted to ask what might be the reason. Also, I haven't had sex with her recently, but her period hasn't come this month. Last month it was always on time.Doctor's answer:
Premature or delayed menstruation by one week is considered a normal phenomenon. Of course, if there has been sexual activity, tests such as blood and urine hCG and ultrasound can be conducted after a one-week delay in menstruation to check for pregnancy. The delay in menstruation should also be considered due to factors such as poor rest, stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders, all of which can lead to a delayed period. It is recommended to visit a hospital for tests including the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and seek targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
