How long is it normal to delay your period?

Women's menstrual period is often irregular. Sometimes it is delayed, sometimes it is early, sometimes the amount of menstruation is increased, and sometimes it is very light. These are all abnormal menstrual phenomena. Let us first understand how many days of delay in menstruation is considered normal?

It's normal if my period is delayed for a few days

Generally speaking, a delay or delay of about 7 days in menstruation is considered normal. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 days, but a week early or late can be considered normal.

Delayed menstruation means delayed menstruation. Women's physiological cycle is generally 28 to 30 days. About 7 days early or late is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation does not come after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, emphasizing that menstrual disorders are related to kidney function, and are also related to the spleen, liver, blood and qi, Chong Mai, Ren Mai, and Ji Gong. It is mainly divided into two types: one is deficiency syndrome, which is caused by weak qi and blood or kidney deficiency. These people should pay attention to regulating and replenishing blood and qi or nourishing the kidneys. The second is the argument that pain occurs when there is obstruction, which is caused by poor blood and qi circulation. Such people should remove blood stasis and relieve pain.

It is normal for menstruation to be delayed by about a week. If a couple has sexual intercourse, uses condoms for contraception, and the condoms do not crack or leak fluid, the possibility of pregnancy is not high. The detection rate of pregnancy test strips is also low. It is recommended to observe carefully. If the menstruation is delayed for about 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to confirm whether you are pregnant.

During pregnancy, the necessary laboratory and auxiliary examination methods should be selected according to the actual condition: blood pressure ovarian examination. Blood tests of pituitary function. Full-term B-ultrasound examination can be used to check whether the uterus and ovaries have polycystic ovary changes. Cartilage MRI for pituitary microadenomas. Supplementary sella turcica CT examination to determine whether there is a pituitary cystadenoma.

How many days of delayed menstruation can I test for pregnancy

The length of a woman's menstrual cycle varies from person to person, so the question of whether a delayed menstruation can be considered a good start requires in-depth analysis of the specific situation. However, generally speaking, if there is no menstruation for more than 7 days in a fixed cycle, and women who had sex before did not take good contraceptive measures, women who had normal menstruation will definitely worry about whether they are pregnant. If a woman has a normal menstrual cycle, she can test for pregnancy if her period is delayed by about 10 days. This time is relatively more accurate than 7 days. If the menstrual cycle was abnormal before and women have obvious menstrual irregularities, they need to consider that delayed menstruation may not be due to pregnancy, but may be other problems in the body.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a woman's menstruation to be delayed by one week. At this time, if you want to know whether you are pregnant, you can try a pregnancy test. The longer the pregnancy is, the more accurate the test results will be. It is believed that the basic principle of the pregnancy test strip is to detect the growth hormone hcg produced by the embryo. This growth hormone usually appears in the urine during pregnancy. Because the amount of hcg in the early stages of pregnancy is small and may not be detected, it will not become obvious until the menstruation is delayed for more than a week. Therefore, if you want to improve the accuracy of the pregnancy test, you can wait 10 days after the menstruation is delayed before testing for pregnancy. However, the results of self-test pregnancy may also be biased. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, you can consider going to the hospital for an early pregnancy test about 10 days after your period is delayed. In addition, it should be noted that not everyone can be tested for pregnancy after 10 days of delayed menstruation. Because some people may be able to detect pregnancy after 20 days of pregnancy, but for others it may take 40 days or longer.
