Did a cold delay your period? Does drinking brown sugar help?

Patient's question:

I have a cold and my period is delayed. Is it good to drink brown sugar? Digestive symptoms: It hasn't arrived yet today, but if we count it as the 30th day, it would already be the ninth day.

Doctor's answer:

A cold generally does not cause a delay in menstruation. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular and it is now delayed, the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you use a pregnancy test kit to check and see if you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant and the delay has lasted for nine days, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Treatment should be based on the results of the ultrasound. If pregnancy is suspected, it is advisable to use a test strip to check and rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
