How long is the normal delay of menstruation for normal women?

The menstrual cycle of women is a very normal physiological phenomenon. Generally speaking, a normal menstrual cycle is 28-35 days. Depending on the individual's physical constitution, there may be different cycles, but generally speaking, the law of the cycle will not change. If a woman's menstrual cycle fluctuates, it may be because she has eaten something too spicy or did not pay attention to keeping warm. So, for a normal woman, how long is the delay of menstruation considered normal?

Normal menstruation lasts for 2 to 7 days, with an average of about 5 days. The amount of menstrual flow is difficult to calculate, and clinically, the amount is roughly estimated by the number of times menstrual pads are changed daily. Some people have measured that the normal menstrual blood volume is about 10 to 58 ml, and some women's menstrual volume can exceed 100 ml. Some people believe that monthly blood loss of more than 80 ml is a pathological condition. Generally, the heaviest bleeding occurs on the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation.

In fact, prolonged delay in menstruation will be a manifestation of irregular menstruation. If it is not treated in time, it will cause troubles in the patient's life. A normal menstrual cycle is usually 28-30 days. Due to the different physical conditions of each person, it can be postponed or advanced by a few days on the original basis. Usually a delay of less than 7 days is considered normal. If it exceeds this number and is delayed every time, it is considered menstrual irregularity and requires treatment. If the delay exceeds 7 days, it is considered irregular menstruation.
