Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my partner last month. This month she missed her period and her period is delayed. Is there a chance of pregnancy or some other reason? And after that, we did not have sex. Last year also her period was delayed for more than 20 days. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I want to know if the sex was an unprotected one and if it is then she may be pregnant but if it is protected sex, then her missed period is possible due to hormone imbalance. So please do a hormone profile test and a pregnancy test and reply to me with the result. I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
