How long can a woman's menstruation be delayed?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that women both love and hate. Women attach great importance to menstruation, but sometimes they are very afraid of it because menstruation is an extremely special phenomenon. The menstruation condition can reflect the health of the body. Therefore, it is normal for women to attach importance to menstruation. Women have many questions about menstruation, such as how long can menstruation be delayed? Let’s discuss this issue below.

There are various reasons for delayed menstruation. Some women have delayed menstruation because of taking birth control pills, but this is a normal phenomenon so there is no need to worry about whether they are pregnant. However, when it comes to the maximum number of days that menstruation is delayed, there are mainly two reasons to consider: the first is pregnancy, and the second is irregular menstruation.

We all know that the menstrual cycle is generally 28 to 30 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. But if it exceeds this time, women with normal menstruation will definitely be worried.

Let me teach you a good way to determine whether you have a menstrual disorder. If your menstruation is delayed only 1-2 times occasionally and there are no other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall into the category of menstrual disorders. When the interval between menstrual cycles is more than 35 days, it is called oligomenorrhea, and when menstruation stops for more than 3 menstrual cycles, it is called amenorrhea. The absence of ovulation after menopause can also lead to problems such as osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia, which must be taken seriously. You should go to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination.

From the above introduction, the question of how long menstruation can be delayed is a very simple one, because women's menstruation is very special and it is easy to detect abnormalities. However, a slight delay in menstruation is also normal. However, if the delay is too long, a series of physical examinations will be needed.
