My period has been delayed for three days.

Period is what we usually call the menstrual cycle. The arrival of period is regulated by time. If the arrival time of period is not within our usual time, we should pay attention to it, because period is a symbol of girls' physical and physiological health, we must pay attention to it. If period is late for only three days, is it normal?

Causes

1. Pregnancy

After the menstruation is delayed for 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test. If the result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. Pregnancy may also have other symptoms, such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc.

2. Side effects of medication

Long-term use of contraceptives can cause endocrine disorders and delay menstruation. Newer generation gastrokinetic drugs may also cause this.

3. Caused by surgery

For example, intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions, which may lead to menstrual blood stasis and delay menstruation.

4. Others

Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, etc. can cause delayed menstruation.

examine

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.

diagnosis

1. Ask in detail about the patient’s medical history, recent surgical history, and medication history.

2. Make a diagnosis based on laboratory test results.

treat

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.

If your period is only delayed for three days, don't worry if it happens occasionally, because the reason why your period is delayed for three days may be due to life pressure or unhealthy diet. For such reasons, you just need to pay more attention to it in your daily life. We don't need to be too nervous.
