Why is my period not coming for ten days late?

Women have menstruation every month. It is abnormal for women not to have their period for a month. It is considered menstrual disorder and requires treatment. It is normal for menstruation to be early or late within a reasonable time. As long as the time is not too long, it is caused by physical factors. If a woman's period is about ten days late, it may be due to two reasons. Late menstruation may indicate pregnancy. If examination shows no signs of pregnancy, it may be menstrual irregularity or other problems. Let's take a look at the explanations given by experts.

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 worry. The reasons why menstruation has not come for 10 days can be divided into the following four situations:

1. Pregnancy: You can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test urine 7 days after your period is delayed. If the result is positive, you are very likely to be pregnant. If the result is negative, the opposite is true. But if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the last resort is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.

2. Side effects of drugs: For example, endocrine disorders after taking contraceptives for a long time can also cause menstruation to be delayed by 10 days.

3. Caused by surgery: For example, intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions and result in menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

4. Others: psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.

Experts say that if menstruation is delayed by 10 days 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.

After reading the above expert’s explanation about the ten-day delay in menstruation, I believe everyone should be able to understand it. The normal menstrual period for women is 28 to 30 days, and the normal number of days of delay is 7 days. But this also varies from person to person. If your period is occasionally delayed by about ten days and there are no other symptoms, this is normal. If other problems occur, you need to see a doctor.
