Is it normal to have delayed menstrual period every time?

For some female friends whose menstruation is not normal, whether the menstruation is delayed or advanced, they need to be vigilant. So is it normal for every menstrual period to be delayed? Because the physical condition and physiological characteristics of each female friend are different, the menstrual period does not always come once a month and on time. The problem of constant delays still needs to be taken seriously.

The most common menstrual cycle is 21 to 35 days. It turns out that the phenomenon of "menstruation" occurring once every two months, once every three months, or even once every six months or a year not only exists, but also this seemingly "abnormal" menstrual cycle may not be abnormal! Western medicine calls "menstruation" vaginal bleeding caused by the shedding of the endometrium, while traditional Chinese medicine calls "menstruation" vaginal bleeding that occurs on schedule every month and over and over again. "But this can only describe the situation of most people. Some people have different cycles."

The most common menstrual cycle is 28 days, and ±7 days before and after is considered within the normal range, which means that 21 to 35 days is the most common normal menstrual cycle. Moreover, the calculation method of the menstrual cycle should not be based on the natural month, but from the first day of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation. According to this calculation, some people have menstruation once at the beginning of a natural month and once at the end of the month. As long as the interval between the two periods is 21 to 35 days, it is considered normal.

Don’t compare your menstrual cycle with others, but compare it with yourself. The length of menstrual cycles varies. The key to judging whether it is normal or not is to see whether a long-term pattern has been formed. If it has been like this for one or two years, the estrogen level in the body is normal, ovulation is normal, and there are no other discomforts, then it is normal. In addition to menstruation that occurs every 21 to 35 days, and menstruation during amenorrhea, pregnancy, menopause, and early puberty, there is also a special type of normal menstruation, which occurs every 40 to 50 days, or once every two months, or once every three months, or even once a year. As long as a regular pattern is formed and no physical discomfort is caused, it is normal.

Is it normal to delay the menstrual period? Everyone knows it well. Some female friends’ menstruation is not once a month, but once every six months, or once every few months. Some female friends even have their menstruation twice a month. As long as it is regular, there is generally no problem. However, you still need to go to the hospital for a check-up.
