What happens if a woman's menstruation is delayed for 10 days?

The onset of menstruation marks the beginning of puberty and also the beginning of women's maturity. Usually the stability of a woman's menstrual period is used to judge the health of her body, so the stability of her menstrual cycle is very important. Generally, women have a menstrual cycle of one month, but daughters may have their periods earlier or later, within a week or so, and their periods may also be irregular. For example, some women’s menstruation is delayed by 10 days. What is the reason for this? Let’s take a look together.

1. Pregnancy: Ten days after the menstruation is delayed, you can use the early pregnancy test strips to test your urine at home. If the result is positive, it means that you are very likely pregnant. However, the early pregnancy test strips cannot be used as a standard to determine whether you are pregnant, because the accuracy rate of the early pregnancy test strips is only 55%-73%, so you cannot trust the test results of the early pregnancy test strips too much.

2. Caused by surgery: If you have had an abortion or medical abortion, your menstruation may be affected to a certain extent. The time of menstruation depends on the recovery of the endometrial wall, because some intrauterine surgeries may also cause cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood stasis and delayed menstruation.

3. Taking birth control pills: This point cannot be ignored. A woman's menstruation is delayed by 10 days, which may be related to the long-term use of birth control pills. This is because long-term use of birth control pills can cause menstrual cycle disorders, irregular menstruation, and even amenorrhea in women, thereby causing symptoms of infertility. Therefore, it is generally better for women to take less or no birth control pills.

4. Other factors: If women have these conditions, it will also affect their endocrine system and cause delayed menstruation, such as irregular living habits, excessive mental tension, high stress, or environmental changes. Menstruation is caused by hormones secreted by the ovaries that stimulate the endometrium. If the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, any abnormality in the ovaries, pituitary gland or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

After reading the above introduction to the reasons why women’s menstruation is delayed by 10 days, I believe that female friends will also identify with the reasons. The stability of menstruation is a criterion for judging women's physical condition. It is normal for the menstrual period to be early or late within a week, because mood, diet, weather, etc. will have some impact on the menstrual period. So when a woman's menstruation is delayed by 10 days, female friends should pay enough attention to it, find out the reasons, and adjust the menstrual period to be more stable.
