Patient's question:
I have intermittent pain in my lower abdomen, bloating, and sometimes lower back pain, but my period is delayed by 4 days. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Occasionally delaying a menstrual period once is normal; it is generally never less than one week. It is recommended to wait and see for a bit longer. If the menstrual period is delayed by less than one week, it should be considered whether pregnancy or menstrual irregularity is the cause. If there has been sexual activity, a pregnancy test can be used to check. If there has been no sexual activity, menstrual irregularity should be considered. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination.The condition of stomach bloating is very serious. It is advised that the patient seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
