The reason why women's menstruation is delayed for more than ten days

There are many reasons why a woman's menstruation is delayed for more than ten days. Some of them are normal physiological phenomena that occur with changes in the female body, such as pregnancy, but some are caused by human factors. The specific reasons are as follows:

Pregnancy: If your period is delayed for seven days and has not come yet, you can use a pregnancy test strip to test it. If the urine test shows a positive result, you are very likely pregnant. If the pregnancy test strip shows a negative result, you are not pregnant. If you are pregnant, there will be some other symptoms in addition to not having a period, such as nausea or breast pain. Of course, it varies from person to person. A few women will not have these reactions. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.

Side effects of the drug: If you take birth control pills for a long time, it will cause endocrine disorders. Once the balance of the endocrine system is disrupted, it is very likely to cause menstruation to be delayed by more than ten days.

Caused by surgery: If cervical adhesion occurs during uterine surgery, it will cause menstrual blood stasis, leading to delayed menstruation.

Others: Excessive stress or long-term mental tension, as well as environmental factors, can affect endocrine diseases, and over time, lead to delayed menstruation.

There are many reasons why a woman's menstruation is delayed for more than ten days, which have been introduced in detail above. If the menstruation is delayed for more than ten days only once or twice and there are no other symptoms, it is not in the category of menstrual disease. In addition, diet can also cause endocrine disorders. Therefore, a reasonable diet should also be adopted.

How many days is a delay in menstruation normal?

There is a time period for delayed menstruation. If it exceeds this time period, it is considered delayed menstruation, which is a symptom of irregular menstruation. There are certain medical regulations on how many days of delayed menstruation is considered normal, usually about a week. Normal menstruation is an important sign of the physical health of mature women. If menstruation is delayed continuously, it should be taken seriously.

A normal menstrual cycle is about 28 days, with ovulation occurring two weeks after the start of menstruation and two weeks before the start of the next menstruation. Most women have their periods every 28-30 days, but it is still normal if it is earlier or later than 7 days. Menstruation usually lasts 3-7 days, and the amount of menstrual bleeding is about 30-50 ml.

Various factors such as emotions, environment, nutrition, etc. can cause early or delayed menstruation, and it may also change from "menstruation" to "seasonal menstruation" or even last longer than half a year or even more than a year. It is normal if there is no lesion.

Many people believe that exceeding the normal cycle range, which is 25-30 days, is an abnormal physiological phenomenon. In fact, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Some people have reached "quarter menstruation", but it does not mean that she is unhealthy. In fact, this is closely related to the estrogen level and ovarian function in our body. The normal menstrual cycle is 25-30 days. It is normal if it is earlier or later than a week. However, some women's menstrual cycle may be delayed to two months or even longer, such as one quarter, which is medically called "quarters".

The editor reminds: Even so, it does not mean that you are less healthy than others. If the estrogen level in your body is normal and ovulation is normal (normally the left or right ovary releases an egg 12 days before the next menstruation), then this will not affect normal fertility and is a normal physiological phenomenon.
