How many days is normal for menstruation to be delayed?

Nowadays, women will have some abnormal menstruation. Some women's menstruation is irregular, either a few days late or a few days early. Moreover, many women now suffer from gynecological diseases. The existence of gynecological diseases can easily cause irregular menstruation. Irregular menstruation will have a lot of impact on our lives, especially for some women whose menstruation is always delayed, which makes them very worried. So, is it normal to delay the menstruation for a few days?

In today's life, many women's menstruation is always late, so many women suspect that they may have some gynecological diseases. Everyone should know that menstruation is also fluctuating and may be delayed. So how many days is it normal to delay menstruation?

Many female friends are not sure about their own problems. There are various reasons for delayed menstruation. Some women delay their 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.

If your period is delayed for one week, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. For example, an ultrasound examination can help you understand the specific situation in detail and find out the specific cause.

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.

How to determine whether you have menstrual disease?

If 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.

It is normal for the menstrual cycle to fluctuate by a week. Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, medication, gynecological diseases, some diseases that affect the endocrine system, etc. Can cause delayed menstruation.

For women with normal menstrual cycles who experience amenorrhea, they should first remember the date of their last menstrual period, how many days they have missed their menstrual period, and take a urine pregnancy test as soon as possible. Currently, with the improvement of the sensitivity of the reagents, pregnancy can be detected about 35 days after menstruation.

Once pregnancy is confirmed, further detailed examination should be carried out to determine whether it is an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy, and appropriate treatment should be given to terminate the pregnancy or continue the pregnancy. If it is diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy, relevant treatment should be received in the hospital in time.

It is normal for menstruation to be delayed for a few days. If a female friend’s menstruation is delayed, the first thing to do is to determine whether she is pregnant. If not, it is necessary to promptly check for some diseases, especially gynecological diseases. There are many reasons that can cause irregular menstruation. To be safe, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to see what is going on.
