Is it normal to delay your period by a week?

It is normal for girls to have menstruation after growth and development. When they first have menstruation and are not yet adults, the time of menstruation is not fixed and is irregular. Sometimes it comes a few days early and sometimes it comes three or five days late. This is normal. However, if menstruation is generally regular after adulthood, some people will delay it for a few days or even a week. This needs to be paid attention to. So is it normal for menstruation to be delayed by a week?

The normal menstrual cycle of a woman is generally 21-35 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. What is delayed menstruation? If the menstruation comes more than 7 days later than the normal menstrual cycle, it is delayed menstruation. Women with delayed menstruation should first consider whether they are pregnant, and secondly consider the impact of medication factors, mental factors, disease factors, changes in lifestyle habits or living environment on the menstrual cycle.
