My period is delayed for 3 days

Women's menstruation has a certain cycle, but it is basically about 28 days. Few women have their menstruation completely according to the normal cycle. Due to living habits and eating habits, many women's menstruation will be delayed or advanced. Most people will have their menstruation advanced, and there are very few people who have delayed menstruation. However, there are still people who have delayed menstruation. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation, so what is the reason for the delay of three days?

1. Pregnancy

After pregnancy, you will experience amenorrhea, so if your menstruation has been delayed for a week and you have sexual life, you can use an early pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it means you are pregnant. However, there will be a certain error in the detection of early pregnancy test strips, so if you want to know more accurately whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a blood hcg test.

2. Medication

If you are currently taking any medication containing progestin, such as birth control pills, diet pills, etc., it may cause your period to be delayed. In addition, taking the new generation of gastrokinetic drugs may also cause delayed menstruation.

Some people have recently undergone intrauterine surgery. Improper operation by the doctor or improper follow-up care may cause intrauterine adhesions, and menstrual blood cannot be discharged normally, which may cause delayed menstruation.
