Question: my period is start last aug 10 and i have still no period sep 18,191,20 i did htp it was negative and 21 i did qualitative blood test also negative and aug 15,22 we did protected sex
Brief Answer:
Not due to pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You have negative urine and blood tests for pregnancy almost one month after the protected sex. This completely rules out the pregnancy.
Late period may be due to hormonal imbalance, mental stress, emotional upset, irregular diet habit, high prolactin level, over weight or extreme loss, pelvic infection etc.
You require one pelvic ultrasound scan and complete hormone test to find out the underlying cause & confirm the diagnosis in absence of period. You must consult with your local GYNECOLOGIST regarding this.
You should wait at least 1 week from now 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 your doctor.
In addition, you would 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.
