How long is it normal to delay menstruation?

Whether a woman's menstruation is normal also represents the health of her body. Healthy women will have regular menstruation every month, but some women will have delayed menstruation. But how long is a delayed menstruation considered normal? Generally speaking, the longer the delay, the more serious the problem. If it is delayed for ten days, you should test whether pregnancy has occurred. If not, you should pay attention to your endocrine condition and it is best to adjust it.

In fact, there are many reasons for delayed menstruation, including eating raw, cold or overly cold foods without paying attention, which can cause the endometrium to get cold and lead to unstable shedding time, which can easily lead to menstrual disorders or even dysmenorrhea.

Generally, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed by about a week. If it is delayed for 7 days and still not comes, you may be pregnant or have irregular menstruation. Irregular menstruation refers to menstrual changes caused by various reasons, including the early or delayed age of menarche, changes in cycle, period and menstrual volume, as well as some abnormal symptoms before and after menstruation. This phenomenon is collectively called irregular menstruation, which is one of the most common symptoms of gynecological diseases.

There are two main reasons for irregular menstruation:

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the lower hindbrain - ovarian 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, 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. In clinical diagnosis of neuroendocrine dysfunctional menstrual disorders, the above-mentioned organic causes must be excluded.

So, female friends, remember, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed within a week. If your period has not come for more than a week, you should pay attention. Those who have a boyfriend should pay attention to whether they are pregnant, and those who don’t should go to the hospital to consult a doctor.
