Patient's question:
I have been living in Guangdong all along. Since July last year, I moved to Wuxi. After my period on December 6, 2012, I haven't had it since then. My period is delayed by more than three months, and I have experienced a lack of libido, irritability, dry mouth, cold hands and feet, and increasing weight. The doctor said it is due to the impact of the environmental change.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 one week after the menstrual period is delayed 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 including the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and undergo targeted treatment once the cause is identified.
