Is Delayed Menstruation A Sign Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hi, My wife is 3 day more to her Period date. We have check about pregancy but it shows negetive. So what should we do to get her Periods?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal changes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
NEGATIVE home pregnancy test EXCLUDES pregnancy completely.
Late period may be due to hormonal imbalance, mental stress, emotional upset, irregular diet habit, high prolactin level, being over weight or extreme loss, pelvic infection etc.
She may require one pelvic ultrasound scan and complete hormone test to rule out the underlying cause & confirm the diagnosis in absence of period. She must consult with her local GYNECOLOGIST regarding this.
She should wait at least 1 week to get period naturally. If you don't get it, then progesterone pill Like Norethisterone can be given to induce period. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from her doctor.
In addition, do take healthy diet (LOW CARBOHYDRATE) with more green vegetables, drink more water, keep bowel habit regular, avoid mental stress by meditation or yoga, control body weight by regular physical exercise and maintain genital hygiene properly.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
