Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My periods were delayed by 29 days, but I still experienced cramps, clear discharge, sore breasts, and, also feels skin itching at night. Please advise.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query,

I have gone through your history in detail and understand your concerns. As per your description these symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance but it could be due to pregnancy also though the chances are very low. But as you missed your period it could be an anovulatory cycle due to hormonal changes or due to pregnancy if precum contain sperm.

I suggest you to get blood beta human chorionic gonadotropin testing to rule out pregnancy. If pregnancy is not there, It could be due to hormonal imbalance and you can wait and watch for your menstruation or can take the tablet Progesterone for withdrawal bleeding. Also, get your thyroid profile and hemoglobin test to find out any hormonal changes.

Please follow up for further assistance.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
