This doctor is not available for online consultations on the platform anymore.Hello doctor,
My wife is three days late on her period and her discharge is really heavy and clumpy, but she is not spotting. Could this be a sign of pregnancy?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A delayed period and heavy, clumpy discharge may or may not be a sign of pregnancy. There are many other factors that can cause changes in the menstrual cycle and vaginal discharge.
If you and your wife are sexually active and her period is late, then pregnancy is a possibility. In this case, I would suggest that she take a home pregnancy test or visit a healthcare provider for a blood test, which is more accurate. However, if the heavy and clumpy discharge is accompanied by other symptoms such as itching, burning, or foul odor, it may indicate a vaginal infection. In this case, your wife should visit a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I hope this helps.
Regards.
