What happened if my period was delayed for a week?

Menstruation is a very important thing for women. After menstruation, women will discharge one or two eggs to prepare for pregnancy. Women who want to get pregnant during this period should prepare during this period. If menstruation is delayed, it may be pregnancy or other gynecological diseases. What is the reason for menstruation being delayed for a week?

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the lower hindbrain-stomach-ovary axis, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception. Certain occupations, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea. In addition, some abnormal bleeding during pregnancy is often mistaken for menstrual irregularities.

3. The possibility of pregnancy is low. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by 10 days, and you should continue to observe for a few more days.

4. Women's normal menstruation is restricted and influenced by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. Emotions, major mental stimulation, medications, and changes in lifestyle habits can cause irregular menstruation. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by about a week. Women of childbearing age who have regular menstruation, a history of sexual life, and menstruation lasting more than 10 days can initially consider pregnancy, but they still need to do an early pregnancy test.

After your menstrual period is delayed for one week, you should be prepared for pregnancy. Don't be too nervous and go to the hospital for regular check-ups to be responsible for your body. If you are pregnant, you should check whether you have taken any medications in the early stages. Choose a healthy baby and don't give up the baby for unnecessary reasons.
