What Causes Delayed Periods?

Diagnosed with gastritis 1 week ago. I have been taking medication, sleep deprived, and not eating enough how I normally do. 1 week late of menstural cycle. Usually 28 days apart but sometimes I am late, one week at the most. Should I be worried about pregnancy?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
If you had done sexual intercourse in fertile period of cycle then there may be possibility of pregnancy.
But I think i your case delayed period is due to
Stress, change in life style, change in dietary habit, excessive loss of weight.
So be relax, avoid stress and do not worry, gastritis is easily treated by prescribing mucaine gel and rantidine/omeprazole/esiniprazol tablet.
Take healthy diet, fresh fruits and avoid spicy and oily food, take small frequent meal rather than large meal for gastritis treatment. Do exercise like walking and mediation for 45-60 minutes daily in the morning
Period will come with in 5-6 days.
If period will delay by 2 week and then you can go for home pregnancy kit to diagnose pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
