Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I had my period on 15th October, then had foreplay with my partner on 22nd October. I got my period again on 9th November. However, this month in December, I haven’t gotten my period yet. Instead, there’s only vaginal discharge and no period. Could this be a sign of something, or should I be worried?

Hello,

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

Today is 11th December. It's possible that your period is simply delayed. If it doesn't arrive within a week, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If the test is negative and your period still doesn't come, it might be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider to explore other possible causes for the delay.

Thanks
