What happens if your period is delayed for ten days and has not come yet?

Normally our menstrual period will be delayed by about a week, which is the normal time of the menstrual period. For some people, their menstruation is delayed by more than ten days, so they are more worried whether there is something wrong with their body. We need to understand this situation well. A ten-day delay usually indicates the possibility of pregnancy and poor physical constitution. Or some people take birth control pills during this period, which will affect their physical condition. Below we will introduce the reasons for this situation in detail, and you can use it as a reference.

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.

The above are the reasons why "menstruation is delayed for 10 days and has not come yet". If menstruation is delayed for 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. You should go to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination.
