My period is delayed by 4 days

A delayed menstrual period generally causes women to feel very worried. Generally speaking, delayed menstruation in women may be due to pregnancy or irregular menstruation. If menstruation is irregular, women will suffer from gynecological diseases, which will have a great impact on their physical health. Therefore, if a woman's menstruation is delayed, she must be checked in time. So, what happens if the menstruation is delayed by 4 days?

Is it normal to have a period that is four days late?

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. It is normal for menstruation to be delayed by about a week. If you have sex, use condoms for contraception, and the condoms do not break or leak fluid, the possibility of pregnancy is low. The self-test rate of early pregnancy test strips is also low. It is recommended that you observe closely. If your menstruation is delayed for about 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to confirm whether you are pregnant. First eliminate external factors that affect menstruation, and then observe for a period of time. You should have a regular daily life, pay more attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep warm and avoid moisture during menstruation. Prevent excessive dieting, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Pay attention to your diet structure, eat more lean meat, cereals, green leafy vegetables and calcium-rich foods, and avoid overeating raw and cold foods. Keep a good mood, strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness. If the symptoms still do not improve, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to identify the cause so that targeted treatment can be provided as soon as possible. There may be many reasons for this: 1. Pregnancy: After 10 days of delayed menstruation, you can go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test. If the test result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. Pregnancy may also have other symptoms, such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc.

1. Side effects of drugs, such as long-term use of contraceptives leading to endocrine disorders, can cause delayed menstruation. Newer generation gastrokinetic drugs may also cause this.

3. Surgery such as intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions, resulting in menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

4. Other psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, etc. can cause delayed menstruation.

My period is delayed for a few days, is it pregnancy?

Delayed menstruation is one of the symptoms of early pregnancy, but it cannot be used as a complete judgment of pregnancy. The following symptoms may also occur during pregnancy:

1. Breast enlargement

Your breasts may become extra tender a week or two after conception. Because your body produces a lot of estrogen and progesterone in early pregnancy, the glands in your breasts begin to grow. These hormones also cause the breasts to retain more fluid, so they may feel heavier and soreer than before, and more sensitive than PMS.

2. Bleeding

Slight vaginal bleeding may occur after the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus 6-12 days after conception. This is harmless, but see your doctor right away if you suspect you are pregnant, as you might suspect your period if the bleeding occurs after 12 days of conception.

3. Fatigue

During the first few weeks of pregnancy, your body is working around the clock to support your pregnancy, and fatigue is your body's response. The progesterone produced after pregnancy will increase your basal body temperature, so you will lack physical energy. Also, your heart rate will increase to provide more oxygen to the uterus, so you will feel tired.

4. Increased urination frequency

You may think that this sign will not come so early, and it should appear when the baby can squeeze the bladder, but in fact this sign may appear in the early stages of pregnancy. Not only does the expanding uterus put pressure on the bladder, but the increased blood flow also puts pressure on the kidneys, so urine production increases.
