Is it a disease if my period is delayed by seven or eight days every month?

Menstrual problems are extremely important to people, especially women, whose bodies must have healthy menstrual patterns to maintain normal fertility. Therefore, problems with women's menstruation will inevitably lead to some health problems. For example, delayed menstruation is a very common phenomenon. Is it a disease if menstruation is delayed by seven or eight days every month? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

It is normal for women's menstruation to be delayed or advanced by about a week. If menstruation still does not come after that, it is irregular menstruation or pregnancy. If there is no sexual life, it may be due to recent work pressure, changes in living environment, irregular work and rest, etc., which may cause irregular menstruation. It may also be caused by gynecological diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

Normal Standard

1. Cycle: It is a simple indicator to judge whether a woman's menstruation is normal. The menstrual cycle of each woman is different, ranging from 21 to 35 days, and some people have their period every 40 days. But as long as there is regularity, it is normal.

2. Menstrual blood volume: The amount of menstrual blood varies from woman to woman, but 20-85 ml is generally considered normal. The normal amount is to change it four or five times a day, with no more than two packs in each cycle. If using three packs of sanitary napkins each time is not enough and each sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that your menstrual flow is too heavy.

3. Menstrual period: Women’s menstrual period is about 3-7 days. The heaviest bleeding is concentrated in the first 3 days, and then gradually decreases until the menstrual blood stops. For some people, menstrual blood comes back a little after a day or two after the menstrual blood stops, which is commonly known as "menstrual blood comes back". This is also a normal phenomenon. However, some people's menstrual period lasts for 10-20 days, and the menstrual period is endless; some people's menstrual period is very short and it just passes in a flash. Both phenomena are abnormal.

4. Menstrual blood color: It is an important one among the four indicators to determine whether a woman's menstruation is normal. Normal menstrual blood is dark red, viscous and without blood clots. It is abnormal if your menstrual blood is thin and watery, pink, black or purple, or if it is entirely clotted blood.
