Why is my period delayed by 10 days?

Many friends will feel nervous when their period is delayed, but if it comes after ten days, female friends, don’t think that you can just ignore it. You need to find out the reason why your menstruation is delayed. Some people may catch a cold, which may cause delayed menstruation. Others may be due to high stress in daily life, or it may be caused by irregular menstruation.

Delayed menstruation means delayed menstruation. The female menstrual cycle is generally 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation does not occur after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation.

1. Causes

1. Pregnancy

After the menstruation is delayed for 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test. If the result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. Pregnancy may also have other symptoms, such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc.

2. Side effects of medication

Long-term use of contraceptives can cause endocrine disorders and delay menstruation. Newer generation gastrokinetic drugs may also cause this.

2. Diseases that may be caused by scanty or excessive menstruation

Too much or too little menstrual flow is not normal, it is because of poor endocrine function. If the endometrium proliferates too much or you have uterine fibroids, your menstrual flow will be heavy. If the small amount of menstrual flow is caused by taking oral contraceptives, you should ask your doctor whether you should change your contraceptive method.

Irregular menstruation. Previous studies have tended to suggest that bone loss occurs only after women reach menopause. In fact, young women can also experience bone loss because their progesterone levels are abnormal, which can result in osteoporosis later in life.

The normal menstrual cycle should be 20 to 36 days, which varies from person to person. Every woman has her own menstrual cycle, which is generally considered to be either 28 days or 30 days. But in fact, everyone's menstrual cycle is very different. According to clinical investigation and statistics from relevant departments, only about 10% of women can actually have their menstruation every 28 to 30 days. As long as the intervals between periods are the same, it is normal. Irregular advances or delays may be abnormal and may be symptoms of a certain disease, which requires accurate recording of the time of each time, otherwise it will be difficult to infer based on impression alone.

Through the detailed explanations of the above experts, I believe that many friends, like me, have gained a lot of knowledge. Delayed menstruation is not just a sign of possible pregnancy. It may also be that there is something wrong with you, which is related to your immune system, or it may be due to problems with your endocrine system and other factors. This requires you to go to a regular hospital for examination after your menstrual period ends.
