Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My period is a week late. My last period started on June 6th and ended on June 12th. It was supposed to start around July 4th or 6th, but now it’s July 12th, and I still haven’t gotten it. What could be wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

You should take a urine pregnancy test and get a scan to identify the cause of your late period. If pregnancy is ruled out, the delay could be due to various factors, such as no egg formation, hormonal imbalances, or issues in the uterus or ovaries, like a cyst or PCOS. Consult a specialist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate advice.

 

Thanks
